You've heard it said that imitation is the sincerest form of praise. Good news! Jesus wants to take you beyond mere imitation; he wants to literally reproduce His character in you. His love. His joy. His peace. And all the other fruit of the Spirit that come as you cultivate your relationship with the Lord.
