This story is the exact example of being shaped after your image. Your image is a reflection of you and goes with you everywhere. According to our Bible passage, God created man in His image and after His likeness. This means we resemble God even though we have not seen Him physically.
Therefore, since we are created after the image of God, you must be like Him, you must love what He loves, and hate what He hates. God is pure and sin cannot be found in Him. You must also be pure like your heavenly Father. If you are still sinning, the image of God is not in you and so you are exposed to the image of the devil. Make up your mind to be a reflection of the image of God.

Prayer for today: Lord, shape me after Your own image.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
