Look Forward

"I do not claim that I have already succeeded or have already become perfect. I keep striving to win the prize….the one thing I do…is to forget what is behind me and do my best to reach what is ahead…I run ..toward the goal…which is God's call through Christ Jesus to the life above." (Philippians 3:12-14) - Everything in this reading is looking forward, not behind. This is a timeless and a timely truth about life. It is as relevant at 100 years old as at 1 year old. The living, growing, learning, serving curve of life is always in the moment, in each heartbeat, each breath.Of course when you are a old man your view of forward looking is different from when a young man or woman…..No matter where you are on the age scale it is of paramount importance to keep focused on God's call in your mind and heart……then all else will come out right in the end……Peace and love….
