I hope as I go along I can make fewer mistakes than I have made in the past. It seems, that the older I get the more I see places I stumbled. Sometimes my immature zeal and lack of wisdom have had unintended consequences. Times I should have spoken, times I should have kept my mouth shut; letters I should have written and a few I should not have written. I am fully aware that I will not be saved by a mistake-free record. I am saved by grace through faith. Having said that, I long for more Christlikeness, more of Him and less of me. The Spirit is in me to guide and help me. Thanks be to God.
“I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” Philippians 3:12-14 (NLT)
