Philippians 2:5
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
One of the greatest things that I love about being married is the similarities in our thoughts. Someone could be speaking and my wife and I can look at each other with the same facial expressions and know what the other is thinking. It could be a raised eyebrow or a smirky smile and we know exactly what the other one would say. At times we could be driving down the road and begin to speak the exact same words. Some of you would call this a coincident but it happens all to frequent.
This has not always been the case. But the more time we spend together, the more often we think alike. We have been married now for eighteen years. We have two children that are teenagers. We've spent a lot of time together! Whether it be fishing, church, playing ball, coaching our children or singing together, we've been together a lot. I can only imagine what our thought process and similarities will be like when we've gotten thirty to forty years into our marriage.
Over and over in scripture our relationship with Christ is presented as a marriage. The more time we spend with Jesus, the more we should think and sound alike. Our hearts and minds should be connected. The only way this could happen is to spend more time with Jesus. When we go fishing, take Jesus with us. When we play ball, take Jesus with us. When we sing, invite Jesus into the worship. Before long, you'll be sounding just like your other half. Your judgment of things will be similar. Your love for people will be the same. Your walk will be in the same steps as His.
Let His mind be yours today and everyday. Wouldn't it be great if someone approached you today and said, "You remind me so much of Jesus". WOW!
