Let Go

          We let go and allow change into our lives. We let go and allow God to carry our burdens. We let go and allow a new future to open up before us. With Christ’s help, we learn to do all of the above. We learn from our mistakes. We gain strength through our tough times. We look ahead.

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. Philippians 3:13

     Our ultimate goal is heaven. As days get tougher, we may long for our heavenly home more and more. Paul reminds us. Keep straining ahead. Keep looking forward. Each day brings us closer to our eternal paradise. And each day brings the promise of new blesings. He has work for us to do.

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14

Jesus,

Sometimes it is difficult to leave the past in the past. We focus our attention on You today and on our final home in heaven. We let go and let You lead on onward to the prize awaiting us in heaven.

Amen
