Being Christ like

What is being Christ like?
Am I being Christ like?
What am I doing to be more like Him?
What do I seek? What's missing from my life now that I'm striving to be closer to Jesus Christ?

This one really made me think. I know I still have a long way to go to be more like Christ and will never get close to how perfect He is. But I want to try!
I'd say that the most important things that my life is missing are love and patience towards people that I encounter daily. I need to let go of anger and instead fill my heart with love. By opening my heart and allowing myself to feel love for all mankind I can see past my own interests and needs and serve those who need it the most.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself    -Lev 19:18

Christ encountered all types of people when he walked this earth. He met a few who wanted to follow Him and believed and then there where those who opposed greatly to His words but He managed to treat them with respect and expressed love for them all equally.

That's a really brave thing to do! It requires for you to be above earthly things to develop that virtue and I could never in my life imagine myself not getting annoyed or irritated at some point. But that is what makes Him great. He not just treated people with respect but He loved them. He loves us all. So much so that he suffered and gave his life for all mankind.
He did it all with a loving heart.

Would you give your life for mankind like he did?
Would you suffer so that others won't have to?
Would you be willing to sacrifice yourself?

Christ suffereth because of His loving kindness towards men.   -1 Nephi 19:9

Finally, patience is a great Christ like attribute to work on. Being patient will bring a lot of blessings and by waiting and enduring, when those blessings finally come, you will get to savor them and enjoy them so much more!

In your patience possess ye your souls.   -Luke 21:19

So I ask you now, what do YOU seek?
