We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become. If we love things, we become a thing. If we love nothing, we become nothing. Imitation is not a literal mimicking of Christ, rather it means becoming the image of the beloved, an image disclosed through transformation. This means we are to become vessels of God's compassionate love for others. Anonymous
About This Quote

This is a very good quote. It is not the love of money that makes us rich, but the love of money that makes us poor. The love of money is an excellent example of how we can get wrapped up in imitating something. We all know people who love money.

They are always focusing on getting rich and making more money. They are not happy when they do not have enough money to buy this or that item they want. The problem with this type of love is that it can lead to greed, which is never a good thing in life.
