Jesus, mi deseo es ser como tu

Jesus, my desire is to be like you.

This feel has been overwhemling this week. In different situations I've faced, I contemplated... "but what would He do?" Such a difficult possition.

I know that there is no ONE way that Jesus would behave. He is a living person, he has a mind. There is no Jesus pill out there... it's just simply Him. I want to know him more than ever I think, but what would that look like?

Jesus.

Somethings about him are impossible to describe, they can only be felt. Can you imagine?

When I sat back and really just thought "What would Jesus do?" I realized one thing:
How well do I know my brother?

It's like in my family, I don't know EXACTLY what my little sisters next move will be... but I know her well enough to anticipate her response in most scenarios. Why should it be different with Christ?

I've been alive with him for 11 years, this year. Age doesn't matter, other than when explaining the depth of knowledge we CAN obtain about him. By the time I was eleven years old I had best friends; I knew they favorite colors, their favorite bands, what they liked, what food they prefered...

If I want to be like Jesus, I need to know him. Christianity is technically, "Mimic Christ..." I've been a christian for 11 years and I will be until I die... how much can I hope to learn about my savior in that amount of time? It's limitless. I will ALWAYS be related to my little sister... I will never know everything, precisely about her because she is a living, breathing, growing individual. But I can strive for closeness. I can try.

When I struggle to know what Jesus would do, it's not because I don't know him... it's just an oportunity to get to know him better.
