"I want to be formed and shaped and molded into his image. To be more like him. To look like him. To walk at his pace. To respond to the world with his gentleness and grace. To reign and rule, build, create and cultivate under his loving and sacrificial authority.
"But to do that, I have to look in his face. Meet with him. Stay at his feet. Spend time with him. To live in repeatable practices and formations that consistently put myself before him. I have to shape my space and my habits away from my false self and push myself into becoming a true full image bearer of him."
- Jefferson Bethke
