If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?
I dreamt of being back in my toddler days when I was blameless by my deeds—someone who had not been capable of sinning.
Though God does not remember my repented sins, I still remember and feel the sin-inflicted pain, hurting myself as it was hurting God.
The born-again life in Christ is to fresh up life in spirit and soul and body. Nowadays, I remember more of my renewed life and prayerfully the sin-inflicted pain will become my medal of honour (Xūn hào) in embracing the law of God and winning the fight against the law of sin.
I do not want to be someone else, but I want to be more and more like my Lord Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:10-21
“I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus…Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.”
