Chapters 4
and 5 Choosing Gratitude
Philippians
3:12-14, “12 Not that I have already
obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I
may lay hold of that for which
also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren,
I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I
do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies
ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the
prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
This verse
reminds us to repent and forget what we’ve done in the past and to press on.
