I.B.S. #37

Philippians 3:12

- "Not as though I had already attained, either were perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus."

I love that we can look at Paul, who we view as this amazing devout man in Bible, who has one of the most amaizing testimonies and yet hes is so humble in saying that he just like anyother Christian and is simply a follower after Christ. This is all we can do while on earth. Simply follow after Christ earnestly. We will never be perfect, I will never be perfect; we will be perfect, however, when we finally see Him in His kingdom. When I arrive, I want to be given a "Well done" because of how I followed earnestly after Christ during my time on earth. It's kind of sad to know that no matter how much we sacrifice here on earth, we will never reach perfection. However it is pretty cool to know that what He has prepared for us in perfection is going to be so much greater than the amount of blessings that He is going to pour on us when we follow Him.

Continue to examine all that I have sacrificed and make sure I have given ALL things that are stopping me from growing as close as possible to Him.
