“No, dear brothers, I am still not all I should be, but I am bringing all my energies to bear on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God is calling us up to heaven because of what Christ Jesus did for us” (Philippians 3:13-14, TLB).
Perhaps, like me, you read the definitions for reach and extend and the Scripture verses, and acknowledge that this is not how you are living. This does not describe your walk with God. Thankfully, with our moment by moment surrender to God’s seasoning process and with His help, this can be true of us.
