Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
As the disciples followed Jesus around they learned how to behave like Christ and to love others as Christ loved others.
Being a follower of Christ for us means learning how to do the same, learning how to pick up on His example and take it with us into our worlds.
Children pick up on things much quicker than adults do because they do not have preconceived ideas about everything.
Be more like a child and accept what Christ is teaching you and stop trying to prove things!
