And who would that person be specifically and why?

The one charisteristic that I would describe as "Christlike", because I don't find it in any other person, is selflessness. When I am able to give of myself with total disregard for what I might or might not get in return, I will be able to love people as Christ loves people.
Specifically, I need this trait with my wife. First of all, she deserves it. Secondly, it's expected of me by God. Thirdly, I want my sons to learn that mutually selfless love is the key to a strong and lasting marriage, and the only way I can really teach them that is to model it.

There are several qualities which one can give to show character that is similar; acceptance of all, regardless of religious affiliations, monetary worth, afflictions of illness, difference of morality, giving what you have ample, praying, and Agape love.
Every person, every single person who wishes to can exhibit these beautiful and selfless qualities can. One just has to care about others as they care for themselves. It is easily done, and it is easily given. I love to give love and all that I have to help those that are less fortunate...that is an example.
It is more than simply speaking it, one must live it in order to exhibit similar qualities, but one can never truly be Christlike...as we are human and fallible, He is perfect.
We must begin to exhibit this love, this selflessness, as it is our duty as human beings to care for our brothers and sisters of this world. There is a lack of love, and one can see this by looking at the elderly, the poor, the sick, in all parts of the world. It is a sadness that breaks my heart, but unless humanity begins to exhibit and embody these qualities there will be more sadness. One person at a time you can help, give freely of love and self. That is the most beautiful thing one may do.
Love can cure anything, anything at all!!!
Love and light,

acceptance: of a person as they are, with strengths and weaknesses
i cant think of a specific person, but this trait would help me at my workplace, to love the individuality i encounter there, some of which is very odd to me and different from how i am
