We become like the people we admire. We also pursue the things that we value. If we are not admiring godly people and if we are not pursuing God's desires, the end result will be heartache for us.
In this chapter we are encouraged to "carefully observe, imitate and submit to" leadership in our lives. We are to pursue leaders who will lead us to greater godliness. Leaders who will model the things listed in this chapter. Things like loving people they don't know, caring for the hurting, honoring their marriage, living content and not loving money!
Who do we know like this? Are these qualities true of us? Are we following these kinds of people? I pray so.
