His grace is sufficient

2 Cor 12

9 but He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness." Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me. 10 So I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, and with difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak [in human strength], then I am strong [truly able, truly powerful, truly drawing from God's strength].

Today is the first day of the More Water Less Concentrate competition.  My flesh wants our team to perform well.  However, spiritually, I can do well regardless of the worldly outcome.  Spiritually, I can demonstrate the attitude, mindset, and character of Jesus regardless of the worldly circumstances.  I can be a conduit of the Living Water flowing through me.

Father, thank you for your abundant grace.  Thank you for your power.  Thank you for your presence.  I want to be like you.  I love you.

You become what you assimilate

But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:16‭-‬18 NIV

If I regularly, consistently, constantly focus on the Lord, then I will grow to be more like Him.

Sadly, there are undesirable alternatives.  If you focus on things in this world, then you will grow more worldly.

Father, help me see you and watch you.  I want to be like you, Daddy.  I love you.
