in his image

But there is no use trying to engraft an opposite nature on ones own. What i am, that i must be, except as God changes me into his own image.
Elizabeth Prentiss


I so often find myself thinking if only i could be more like that person. More organized like her, more spirtiual like her, and wiser like her. I get so caught up in others and what they think of me, i forget that we need to be in God's image not in "her" image!

Hi. Thanks for commenting on my blog
(homeschoolblogger.com/borncountry). I sometimes wonder if anyone reads it. Yes, I loved Created...great book.

I am often thinking if I could only be more like that person also. We're created in His image, why wouldn't we want to be more like Him?! Good post.

I enjoyed reading your blog (can't wait for more posts). Your baby girl is absolutely adorable.

This post was an amazing reminder. I think too often I compare myself to others when I should be seeking to be the woman He has called me to be. Thank you!

Hi,
My blog is www.thecallingandmissionofwomen.blogspot.com. I know I compare myself to other women every time I walk into a room. Why do we do this? What are the consequences? The truth: comparison squelches gratitude. Gratitude for another woman's God-given talents, and gratitude for the talents God is molding in us. Thank you for sharing about the sin nature we all have, but try to hide!
