Imitate

The earth is full of blaring sounds, coming from empty and rigid places. 

You, My people, must be tender, not rigid. 

Always teachable and malleable by My hands.

Be full, and not empty, in your heart and inner man. 

Let Me fill you to overflow with My Spirit and love. 

For what are you going to give, and teach, if you haven’t received it?

Don’t be cold. 

Be warm to each other with My gentleness and loving kindness.

I am near.

For even I was in the midst of such noisy cymbals, even unto death.

Be My imitators.

Activation: Praise The Son! Contemplate and worship Him for His gentleness and kindness.

At His glorious sight, confess and ask for forgiveness for your own and this generation’s sin of condemning the innocent, the work of The Spirit, preferring your own traditions. 

Intentionally spend daily time with Christ, contemplating His gentleness, that He might fill you with it and transform you. 

Isaiah 42:1-2 (NIV)

“Here is my servant, whom I uphold,
    my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
    and he will bring justice to the nations.

He will not shout or cry out,
    or raise his voice in the streets.”

Philippians 4:5 (AMP)

Let your gentle spirit [your graciousness, unselfishness, mercy, tolerance, and patience] be known to all people. The Lord is near.

1 Corinthians 13:1 (ESV)

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
