We will be like Him!',

"We know that when He appears — we will be like Him!" 1 John 3:2 

As the beauty of Christ's character glows before us in the light of the Gospels — we should say, "That is what I am to be some day! I am now very far from it — but I am to reach it. That is my assured destiny!" Such a hope cherished in the heart, has a wondrous uplifting power. 

Since we are so soon to be like Christ — we should seek to grow continually in grace and virtue. We should daily be getting a little more like Christ in character, in temper, indisposition, in affection. Our aim should be to bring every thought, and every emotion, and every desire — into sweet subjection to Christ. 

We should not only cherish the blessed vision — but should seek daily to grow into its divine beauty! "We know that when He appears — we will be like Him!" 1 John 3:2
