Life experience can shape our image of Jesus. Tough times and trials can often make or break our faith. Struggles can lead to acknowledgment and dependence on Jesus or a rejection of Him. It is often through the key of life experiences that doorways of opportunity are opened up to deeper and more personal experiences with God.
God alone is good and He is the source of all goodness. If we possess a good quality,for example patience, it is because this has come to perfection through our own hard work and perseverance, aided by the grace of God Who desires us to be patient as He is patient. The same applies to every good quality that we wish to posses.
If we want to become like Jesus Christ Our Lord, we must desire to possess all his human qualities, plus all his divine attributes which are unique to God. They must be reflected upon our souls in order that we may become what God wants us to be: "his own reflection". While this sounds very desirable but difficult, we need to do our work by amending our lives and by practicing living in the Presence of God. We can start by saying like Jesus, the flesh is weak but the Spirit God has given us is strong.
"Become like unto me", says our Lord Jesus Christ. Be Holy as I am Holy.
Leviticus 11:44
