“Not that I have already attained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press onto take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it, but one thing I do:

Forgetting what lies 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 3:12-14

Living in the moments of today is such a gift…

How I pray we would be able to soak in the good we see around us… letting the warmth of God’s amazing love draw us closer and closer; away from the noise and strife… straight into His loving arms..

Dear Heavenly Father, How great You are…

Thank You for encouraging our hearts to strain forward…

Keeping our eyes on the prize of which You have called us heavenward…

That is just the most beautiful thing…

Help me to live my today.. today.

Being fully aware of the love You have for me…

Surrounding those in my life with Your great love..

Drawing them into Your great hope…

You have plucked me from the darkness, and shinned Your light of truth and forgiveness over my whole life…

That is the most beautiful gift I could have ever wished for…

May the beauty of Your love calm my heart, ease my stress and overflow to those who are straining to see the light of hope…

Help me live for today..

Everyday…

In Jesus Name,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa
