This is all good and dandy for those that love to drive from their rear view mirror...I am well aware where I came from, but my focus toward heaven is not going to take second place to my focus on hell fire and brimstone...I simply do not serve God to avoid damnation...I serve God because of my gratitude of what he has done for me and I just want to love him and bring him glory....I want to make my Dad smile and say, "That's my boy....well done, my good and faithful servant" for those words are music to my ears....SOMEONE PLEASE POINT ME TO THE CROSS!!!!
Philippians 3:12-14 "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but
I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, 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.
