Some day I shall be like that!

(J.R. Miller)

"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son." Romans 8:29

No sooner do we begin to behold the beauteous face which looks out at us from the gospel chapters, than a great hope springs up in our hearts--we can become like Jesus! Indeed, if we are God's children, we shall become like Him. We are predestined to be conformed to His image!

It matters not how faintly the Divine beauty glimmers now in our soiled and imperfect lives--some day we shall be like Him! As we struggle here with imperfections and infirmities, with scarcely a trace of Christlikeness yet apparent in our life, we still may say, when we catch glimpses of the glorious loveliness of Christ, "Some day I shall be like that!"

" We know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." 1 John 3:2
