My servant Paul wrote:"Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things that are behind and reaching forward to those things that are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:12-14)"
Paul was describing the condition of every one of My believers. He knew that he had not attained (apprehended) all that He should be in Me. However, he was determined not to allow the past to define him. He did not count himself to have apprehended (obtained) that prize, but he was pressing on to receive it.
This is what I want all My beloved ones to do. I want them to never give up, to never be defined by their past, but instead to "Keep on keeping on in faith." Always remember that daily you are being conformed to My image by My Holy Spirit. You are in process. My Spirit will not let go of you.
PHILIPPIANS 3:12-14; ROMANS 8:29-30
