i was talking with a brother the other day about this, and i just want to share, I noticed my wife used to spend a long time speaking on the phone with her friend, sometimes before they would spend hours on the phone,
And i noticed over time that she started to use words like her friend, and also the friend started talk like my wife, they became more alike....and God spoke to me, that the place of change is with him, sitting at his feet.....the more time we are together with Jesus...the more we change into his image....
Alone with God
"We may lay it down as an elementary
principle of Christianity, that no large
growth in holiness was ever gained by
one who did not take time to be often
long alone with God." -Phelps
"Those make the most rapid, consistent,
and evident growth in Christlikeness are
those who have developed a daily time of
being alone with God for Bible meditation,
prayer, and private worship." -Whitney
