I want to be like Daddy

How many children look up to their fathers, particularly boys? A five year-old takes his father's razor and pretends to shave. So his father puts shaving cream on the boy's face and the boy feels like his dad. A fireman's son wants to dress like a fireman and on and on. Children want to be like their fathers and fathers love it.

So how much more would our Father love to see us following His perfect instruction in the Torah--even if we don't do it quite right? Walking in His steps is a beautiful experience: the in-pouring and the out-pouring.

But really isn't it less about what WE get out of this? Isn't the believer's goal to manifest the glory of God wherever that believer goes?
