Looking Like Jesus

Morning Read of "The Great Omission", Chapter 4- "Looking Like Jesus" by Dallas Willard...

The goal of this christian life to grow in Spiritual Formation is like this "Golden Triangle"

1. Faithful acceptance of everyday problems.

2. Interaction with God's Spirit in and around us.

3. Spiritual Disciplines. These are special activities, that many engaged in by Jesus himself, such as solitude and study, service and secrecy, fasting and worship.
"When we accept moment-to-moment events and tribulations as the place where we receive God's provision, we patiently anticipate the action of His Spirit in our lives. In hope, we do our best to find and implement the ways in which our inner self can take on the character of the children of the Highest. This is the path of radical change- change sufficient to meet the needs of the world and prepare a people to be the habitation of God."- Dallas Willard
