Philippians 3:13-14



"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."



This passage pinpoints a very important trait for all of us to stay mindful of in our lives: endurance; particularly, in our relationship with Jesus. It's not a matter of if, but rather when we will fall short and make mistakes. We all fall short (Romans 3:23). When we do we have to move on after we repent; we have to press on towards the ultimate goal, which is give God the glory. The Scriptures are filled with God using the failures and weaknesses of people to accomplish His glory. Don't listen to any notion that your life is beyond repair; don't listen to any notion that God cannot bring breakthrough in your life. I'm not trying to minimize our sins, but rather promote how all-powerful and awesome our God is. Keep pressing on and forget what mistakes you have made once you bring them before God. Remember He died for all of our sins, not just some.



Solo Deo Gloria
