“Be imitators of me. For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.” I Corithians 4:16-17
When I read these verses I can feel the heart of the Apostle Paul and his fatherly love for the people at Corinth. He was revealing his heart and giving them an example to follow. Having an example is the best way to learn. That is why little children love to imitate everything they see us doing.

I am privileged to have spiritual parents—Gary and Marilyn Hargrave—who are always bringing the scriptures alive and nurturing this fellowship of churches. They are a tremendous example of the love for the Word of God and of walking in it. My prayer is for this love for the Word to burn in each one of our hearts. As we see examples of faith around us, let’s imitate it (Hebrews 13:7)!

The other day, my husband asked me “what makes you happy?” My first response was to think about a day on the beach with my family or a bowl of ice cream or reading a good book. I was shocked at first, to see how limited my concept of happiness was.
The truth is that what really makes me happy is a Spirit-filled life.
