Someone pointed out to me not too long ago how people who have been married for a long time get so they look alike. They start having the same kinds of expressions on their faces. They start actually having the same kinds of physical characteristics.

I didn't think that was true. Then I started to look, and it really is true. Have you ever considered why that happens? Well, that's because people have abided with one another, and they begin to be like one another. It's the same way abiding with Christ. We become more Christlike. We begin to take on the characteristics of Christ as we abide in him.
