Long ago during my early born again years I found myself trying so hard to be like certain people I looked up to. I was very sincere in my efforts but after a time I found that I could not keep up with trying to be like them.
I became increasingly empty and disillusioned in heart. I went from one dynamic person to another with the same end results. Those I was trying to be like are still, by todays standards the greatest of saints through many eras. They had qualities that I still adhere to because they are anchored in Christ.
Then came a day about twenty years ago when I came across this verse in Mark 1:17, "Follow Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men."
That word entered into my heart from the Lord and has remained ever since. He was speaking to me directly in these few simple words. The words that became magnified were, "I will make you to BECOME...."
The religious leaders and circles will demand you to become like them. And the more you will let them you will shut the Lord out. Paul told us in 2 Corinthians 3:18, "...He is changing you from glory to glory, He is changing you and making you like His Son."
Stop trying to become something or someone else other than like Jesus Christ. It is truly whom you are following that you eventually become and take on their likeness. Follow Jesus on the pure white path that leads to Home in Heaven Land.

“Nothing teaches us about the preciousness of the Creator as much as when we learn the emptiness of everything else.” ― Charles H. Spurgeon
