Straining Towards the Goal

My pastor preached on Philippians 3:12-16 today, and these verses are just so encouraging. Our goal should be the upward call of God in Christ Jesus! Sometimes we get distracted or discouraged with temporary goals or joys and we forget that our sole focus should be on Him and His kingdom! I hope I'm always caught up in my Fathers business.

I encourage you guys to just press on no matter how difficult, or easy the situation!! Press on to the only everlasting, most important goal you will ever have at hand!

Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. Only let us hold true to what we have attained.
Philippians 3:12-16





Cant wait until I can say this and be with my Savior!!
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7
