Living God’s plan

What does it mean to be the same as Jesus Christ in our minds? Is that what I know as being Christ-like? St. Paul suggests that it is a deep state of being holy in which a person is close to God and always humble before God. A person who is trying to be holy trusts in God’s plan for his or her life. He or she obediently goes along with it in the hope that when bad times come, good times will follow. God wants me to be this sort of person so I can share his Son’s life with those who are bowed down by life and have no knowledge of Jesus Christ and no hope of being raised above life’s bad times.
