When in Rome

Have you ever noticed that the more time you spend with someone the more you become alike. At least for me this happens. I find myself saying shared phrases or making similar facial expressions. I of course see this a lot with Emerson as he grows and develops, he picks up on more of Nick and I's queues.
This habit works both ways, I know when I have been hanging out with more negative people because my attitude becomes more negative and vise versa. I am not really sure what got me thinking about this earlier this week but the more I think about it the more useful I think it could become.
We make choices as to whom we hang out with and what we do with these people. We begin to share habits and phrases. So think what if we choose to spend more time with Jesus?
As Christians we are supposed to strive to be more like Jesus. To follow down a similar path of servant leadership, to be Christ like. How does one really do that? To become more like someone we spend time with them. So we must in turn spend more time with Jesus. The more time we spend with him, the more we learn about him and from him the more we will become like him. And in theory the more we will want to spend time with him.
How often do you talk to your best friend that is living on this Earth? I know I talk to my best friend at least once a week usually for a least an hour at a time. We used to work together so I used to see her at least five days a week. We have a lot of similar likes, dislikes, mannerisms, etc.
Now, how often do you talk to Jesus? Shouldn't He be our best friend living in Heaven? Shouldn't we be spending as much time if not more with Him as we do with our on Earth best friend?
Just a thought. I would love to hear yours. Have a great week.
Until next time,
