Children learn by imitation—and as God’s children, we’re called to do the same. In today’s devotional and prayer, Emily Rose Massey reminds us that following Christ means reflecting His love, compassion, and holiness in our daily lives.

Just as children copy the ones they love and trust, we are invited to model our hearts and actions after Jesus, the ultimate example of selfless love. He “gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” True imitation begins not with perfection, but with abiding in His presence, learning from His Word, and walking in love even when it costs us something.

As we spend time with God and surround ourselves with other believers, we become more like Him—transformed by His Spirit, shaped by His truth, and empowered to live with humility and grace. Every act of love, forgiveness, and faithfulness becomes a fragrant offering of worship to the Lord.

Let today’s prayer help you rediscover what it means to imitate Christ, one loving step at a time.
