Keep Your Eyes on the Prize

"Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected, but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus also laid hold of for me," Philippians 3:12 NKJV.

What are you racing for? Everyone is running a race of some kind, trying to achieve this, that, or the other... What are you racing for? Money, position, power...these all seem to be the motivators, yet why? When our last breaths are taken and we close our eyes for the last time, what is going to matter? 

What matters is where your heart is and where you stored your treasures. Did you know Jesus in life? Did you live to serve and tell others about what He did in your life? Did you share the message of hope and salvation that can only be found in Him? 

I have a message of hope for you today if you can't answer affirmatively. Surrender your life to Him. Ask Him to forgive your sins and make you whole. Give your all to The Lord and go tell someone that He loves you and He loves them too. Don't worry about whether they will accept Him or not. He doesn't ask us to save, only to share Him with others. We are not perfect, but anyone who has a personal relationship with Jesus has a perfect Father in heaven who loves and cares more than anyone you will ever find on this earth.

Won't you accept His gift of salvation today so that you will know, without a doubt that one day, you will see Jesus face to face? May The Lord bless you and keep you as you share His grace today.
