“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.” - Philippians 3:12-21
Reflection by Brooke E. Steuart
How can we define perfection with any accuracy? How can we possibly ever comprehend or understand its complete meaning? That which is perfect today… will certainly be imperfect tomorrow!
Yet, God has given His word that we will receive perfection!
It is understood… yet oh, so hard to practice – the thought and action of doing God’s work every day! Our Lord has asked His children to live up to what He is going to give us! He will give us life everlasting, a promised home in Heaven! Continuing His work with blind faith is one of the most precious gifts we can give ourselves and should be made easier - knowing the prize that has already been assured us! With this promise, we must try to make every effort to make the world a better place for other people through our thoughts, words and deeds… no matter how strenuous the struggle!!
Ever-lasting life is certainly worth striving for, our reward is indescribable! It is up to each one of us to use the gifts and talents God gave us… In doing this we are assured our reward! Forget about what you did for God yesterday—focus on what you’ll do for God today!
“Make Every Day Count!”
