Christlikeness


In Psychology at the age of 5 children begins to explore and do things that will later turn into hobby. If you wanted your child to be a musician, artist, singer, dancer, or a writer. One should let them explore it at this age. If you see that one is interested in pen and paper he or she might be a writer or an artist someday. If he or she likes to watch singers on television and imitate them personally he or she might be a singer someday. It also depends on how one encourages his or her child. Honestly with enough support and encouragement one child can be what their parents what want them to be. But there is one thing that is hard to develop among children even to the many. Faith! But how could we develop it if our child was not that aware of things like that because he or she are more interested in playing and exploring new things in play? God as our Father how did He wanted us to grow according to His will?
It all depends to the parent. Personality of a person can be built through his family, friends, school, and community. You see community is the last stage in personality development. But how? If often we notice in community faith begins. I know some of you might think "ok that's obvious it should start in the family but how if I'm now a grown up?"
Remember in the eyes of the Lord we are His children. As children we are not aware of everything until God let us to learn something. As long as time goes by and were still living were growing and learning. But some children doesn't want to learn because they tend not to listen and to grow. Life is not simply a journey but it's a journey of faith. We are all walking in the same path, life. It takes time till we get to the place we wanted to go. It's our own choice which road of life to take. But many misunderstood this. Others are enjoying simply walking not thinking where to end. But because God wanted us to be Christlike.  While we are growing in this earth He started to encourage us to be what He wanted us to be. God is our father and as a father He wanted what's best for us. 
When we were still young God send us to school were we can learn values if not God let us witness the world. It depends on how God wanted us to learn. It takes this kind of process till we finally learn. But learning takes some time. As long as we live we learn. The process of learning ends when death arrives. As long as we walk to the road of life God gives us lessons to be answered till we get to our destination. 
God wanted us to be like Christ. Just like Jesus Christ we are tempted and defeated. That is the way God wanted us to learn. To able to pass the test that God gave us. We follow His will. But that wasn't easy He knows that were not perfect and Satan is doing everything to get us. So God send His Holy Spirit to guide us. It helps us to think wisely. Just a good parent would encourage his or her child to write by giving a pen and paper. That's how God encourages us to be in Christlikeness.
Some of you may ask but what if I'm already grown up am I to late? No, everyday is a chance. As long as you live God gave you a chance to learn. We just really let God handle everything and put our trust to Him and He will do the rest. As long as we are still on this earth we can be called His children only if we let ourselves to be called.
Just like a 5 years old let us practice loving God so it can become a hobby. Start today so if the time finally comes for you to be said a grown up. You are now well equipped. You finally fulfill what God wanted you to be someday. Oh how proud God would be to see his or her child have grown according to His will, Christlikeness.
