Lessons From Levi (In His Image)

Posted: January 24, 2012 in devotion, Lessons From Levi

You are definitely your Father’s son. Have you ever heard that? I have. Well more so about Levi. When he was born, I was told numerous times that I couldn’t deny being the father. I still get that quite often. Folks kid me by saying “Poor child, he looks too much like his daddy.” I get it. It’s just terrible because he will have women flocking to him and falling over him because of his knock out looks and glaring eyes. He smiles with his eyes.

I love the fact that in reality, Levi is a great mix of Carrie and I. One day you can look at him and see Carrie all through his mannerisms. The next day, his facial expressions are a chip off the ole block.

It reminds me of how we should be in our relationship with our Heavenly Father. We should be the image of the invisible God because we were made in His image. We should act like Him. Love like Him. Show grace like Him. Have mercy like Him, and be Him to those who don’t know Him. When others see us, they should see God.

You’ve heard the old saying that sometimes the only time people will experience God is when you are in their life. It should be true. Too many folks out there don’t know Jesus so they don’t know the real man of grace. We should be showing them that truth.

People should be saying of us, “You are your Father’s son/daughter. There is no denying it.”
