Call UsLive Like Jesus – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional January 1st
(Start The New Year Right By Following The Lord’s Example)
TO THE BIBLE: 1 John 4:17
“…As He is, so are we in this world.”
LET’S TALK
Happy New Year! Oh, what a beautiful year 2024 will be as we set our eyes on the Lord! You know, every time I read about Jesus in the Word, I’m greatly inspired.
I see no greater example for life, nor a greater model. I’m inspired by His thoughts, by His deeds, by His passion, by His love, and by His excellence.
His words went forth with transformative power. Men heard Him and were transformed forever. Demons heard His voice and scampered in terror. Circumstances responded to His words.
How could He be so powerful and yet so loving, forgiving, and gracious? Jesus inspires me so much that all I ever want is to be like Him.
He sent us the Holy Spirit to help us act like Him, think like Him, and be powerful, loving, and passionate like Him. When you’re filled with the Spirit, you’re filled with Jesus.
That’s the Spirit that defined His earthly existence. Today, in His love, He gave us the same Spirit in full measure. Hallelujah!
No wonder He said, “…As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21). So, we go with the same love, the same power, the same passion, the same forgiveness, and the same grace. Hallelujah!
Don’t entertain anything that’ll make you bitter or enraged towards someone else. Let Jesus inspire you. Walk in love and inspire others to love.
Be like Jesus! When He walked this earth, He was God tabernacled in human flesh, full of grace, glory, and truth, and the Bible says, “…As He is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). That means you can think, walk, talk, and act like Him!

Speak:
Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for being my inspiration and the personality of my deepest affection. You’re full of grace, glory, and truth—so powerful yet so loving, forgiving, and gracious! Thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to make me the very embodiment of your character and personality. Your grace, wisdom, love, and righteousness are manifested in and expressed through me today and always. Amen.
