Someone likes your clothing and hairstyle, the way you apply makeup, or your mannerisms, so they mimic you. The thought that others may imitate us is one worth pondering. Someone is always watching us; we’re setting trends, valuable or harmful, whether it is intentional.
Although God holds every person responsible for their
behavior, He holds Christians accountable if our actions lead others astray. To
prevent this, we can daily mimic David, who asked God to search and cleanse his
heart and lead him on the path of everlasting life (Psalm 139:23–24).
As we follow Jesus, the flawless Leader—the perfect example—those
mimicking us will stay on life’s right path. Paul could rightfully encourage
and say to those watching him:
“Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” 1
Corinthians 11:1
