I want the prize

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:13-414). We need the attitudes of Paul:
1) The prize is not yet mine
2) I concentrate on getting it
3) I forget my past mistakes and successes
4) I stretch like a runner towards what is ahead.
5) I race towards the goal
6) I want the prize!
2 Timothy 4:7-8 tells us that he got it. Will you?

Often your tasks will be many, and more than you think you can do.
Often the road will be rugged, and the hills insurmountable too.
But always remember, the hills ahead are never as steep as they seem. With Faith in your heart, start upward. And climb till you reach your dreams.
For nothing in life that is worthy is too hard to achieve; if you have the courage to try it, and you have the faith to believe.
For faith is a force that is greater than knowledge or power or skill; and many defeats turn to triumph if you trust in God's wisdom and will.
For faith is a mover of mountains, there's nothing that God cannot do.
So, start out today with faith in your heart, and climb till your dreams come true.
