"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, 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."
PHIILIPPIANS 3:12-14
I have been called by the Lord, not because of acts or accomplishments but because of the Lord's plan. In faith I know my Lord Jesus well. He saved me - he gave me a new life and body, mind, spirit and soul in him. My task is large but simple as all tasks before the Lord. I am guided by the creator of the heavens, moon, stars and sun. My Lord is my King.
There is no thing I can do apart from my Lord. I am not called simply to claim Jesus as King - but rather to speak and teach the Gospel of Jesus - to teach of the power and truth of the Holy Spirit. To spread the good news of the resurrected Lord who is available for all people. The father is the son through the Holy Spirit.
The Lord apprehended me and took me as his for his good purpose. It is in him that his work can be done. I alone with human power can do nothing except human things which are all meaningless. With the power of Christ - all things can be done with great purpose for the God of Heaven.
