I like croissant and I can recognise differences in its quality. Subtle differences add up to make a difference in the overall pleasure of enjoying a croissant. Down to the texture and the mouthfeel when I bite into it and chew it. Invisible to the eyes, but completes the overall quality of the croissant.

As I reflect on this, God is reminding me of my "invisible to the eyes" part that I need to change. It is not enough to act and behave Christlike. I also need to think Christlike in all aspects of my thoughts towards everyone and anyone. Including thoughts that I keep only to myself - this also ought to be Christlike.

"Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own." (Philippians 3.12 AMP)

Lord,
help me to be humble in my thoughts
and to be patient toward others in deeds and also in thoughts.
