Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV)
“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. 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.”
It is vital that we as Christians recall consistently, that we love a God who is a God of first, second, third, fourth, and at least 100 possibilities on the off chance that we need his absolution. It is significant that we pardon ourselves rapidly, and not harp on our previous mishaps
1 Timothy 6:12 (NIV)
“Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
Confidence is key in business and in a long period of satisfaction. For those of us who are devotees, it is significant that we observer to non-adherents how God has helped us. He kicked the bucket for us on the cross, so that all wrongdoing is pardoned, and that we would have never-ending life.
