Post 15: Inspired to Emulate Christ by Publishing Peace Daily—A Heartfelt Gift to Transform and Connect
A year-long offering of daily discipleship, consistency, and love—given freely to Christ and others.
Like the little drummer boy, who gave the gift of his song, this daily offering is my heartfelt gift to Christ—an act of love and service to bless others and draw closer to Him.
Emulating Christ begins with faithful daily action. Publishing peace is a living gift—an act of worship, service, and discipleship that transforms both the giver and the receiver.
A Year-Long Gift for a Lifelong Path
Emulating Christ is a lifelong commitment—a journey of becoming like Him in thought, word, and action. This year, I’ve been inspired to begin emulating Christ by establishing the celestial habit of publishing peace daily.
Christ, the Prince of Peace, exemplified the power of consistent action. He taught, healed, and served every day, offering light and truth to all who would receive it. In that same spirit, I offer a year-long gift of daily reflections—an act of love and service meant to bless others and invite them into their own Christ-centered habits.
A Journey of Emulating Christ
What does it mean to emulate Christ?
It means taking on His character—the sum of His thoughts, perfections, and attributes. It means aligning our will with God’s so fully that our lives become instruments for greater works, as Jesus promised true believers.
To guide this journey, each post follows a simple pattern:
- Highlighting the challenges we face in becoming more like Christ
- Anchoring those challenges in eternal truths
- Inviting practical action to emulate Him
- Testifying of the blessings that follow alignment
- Offering connection and shared growth in discipleship
The headings themselves are kept simple so the message flows naturally and remains accessible.
The Power of a Daily Gift
Transformation is built on consistency. Celestial habits create a rhythm of growth that aligns the mind with God’s.
For me, daily publishing is a discipline—a way to focus my thoughts, consecrate my efforts, and share the light of Christ. This year-long offering is my figurative widow’s mite. I have no gold or silver to give—only what I have been given: His word written on my heart, paired with modern tools that allow me to share it widely.
Like the little drummer boy, who offered his simple song when he had nothing else, I bring what I can. My gift is to lose myself in service—publishing peace daily as an act of love and gratitude to Christ.
This offering is not only for me. It is for Him—and for you.
The Aim—Emulating Christ to Become Like Abba
This journey is about both process and destination.
- The river represents being perfected in Christ—becoming one with Him as He is one with the Father.
- The ocean represents the ultimate promise: to become like Abba and receive all that He has.
As we emulate Christ, we align with His thoughts, grow into His perfections, and develop His attributes. By magnifying our talents and sharing them, we participate in His holy work and step into the “greater works” He invited His disciples to do.
Join Me in This Gift
This year-long journey is an invitation—not a program—to transform your life through faithful daily discipleship.
Pray to Heavenly Father and ask:
“Father, what would You have me do today to reciprocate Your love by emulating Christ?”
Then take one faithful step.
I invite you to discover, develop, and disseminate your gifts—whether through writing, art, service, teaching, building, or simply lifting another soul. God does not seek possessions; He seeks hearts and minds aligned with His. When that alignment comes, giving becomes natural.
Small daily acts—like publishing peace—reshape focus, deepen discipleship, and draw us closer to Him.
