Looking Like Jesus

So, I should be sleeping. But I'm not.
Man, I just have such a huge burden on me right now...I feel like God has given me a burden to see people just fall in love with Him. And, it's so discouraging to not see that happening. If anything, it's the opposite. And, it's so discouraging when I'm not there, either.
Right now, I just want to want Jesus.
And, compromise is so frustrating. It breaks my heart to see how compromise has entered into the lives of so many people...and even into my own. I don't want to look like the world. At all. I want to look like Jesus.
But, do I?
Ephesians 5:1 says,
"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children." not "Be imitators of the world."
But, what have we been doing, but trying so hard to look like the world.
I'm tired of looking like the world. I just want to look like Jesus. I don't want people to look at me and see Katelyn and her stuff, I want them to look at me and see what Jesus has done and how wonderful He is. That's what matters. That's what counts.
Who cares about the world? Why have I cared about what they think? Why have I measured their opinions and held up as some sort of standard? It means nothing what they say or think in the long run. What is Jesus saying? What does He have to say about my life? What are His thoughts?
Oh, Jesus, precious Jesus, be my everything. Once more.
