Focus

Happy Sunday!

"Yes, everything else is WORTHLESS when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my LORD. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could GAIN Christ and become ONE with him. I no longer count on my OWN righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through FAITH in Christ."

"For God’s way of making us RIGHT with himself depends on FAITH. I want to know Christ and experience the mighty POWER that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that one way or another I will EXPERIENCE the resurrection from the dead!"

"I don’t mean to say that I have ALREADY achieved these things or that I have already REACHED perfection. But I PRESS on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. NO, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved IT, but I FOCUS on this one thing: Forgetting the PAST and looking forward to what lies AHEAD, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us."(Philippians 3:8-14 NLT).

Love and prayers, Cynthia
