I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus. 

~Philippians 3:14 

What a Bible verse and message! I so agree! This should be our number one priority in life! To follow Jesus and get into Heaven! That is what is most important! God gave us Jesus as our example, our model to follow, to reflect, imitate, love and forgive like Him! 

The Mornings With God App today said, "The best is always ahead of us if we are truly following Christ. Life is like climbing a mountain, and we never reach the summit in this world. Paul admits that he hasn’t reached the end of his race, but he presses on with tireless energy and enthusiasm. He forgets what is behind him. Some people live in the past, constantly talking about what they’ve accomplished. Paul had done many great things, but he didn’t dwell on them—he didn’t even take the time to record them. He was too focused on moving forward, reaching for higher goals, greater victories, and the ultimate prize of eternal life. Paul’s example is inspiring—an old apostle, still pressing on, his eyes fixed on the true goal of his life. We should take this lesson to heart."  Found at: https://www.youdevotion.com/mornings/september/19

Yes, like it says above, the best is always ahead of us if we are truly following Christ. Life is like climbing a mountain, and we never reach the summit in this world unless we follow Jesus so to get in Heaven to spend eternity with Him! That is our goal, that is what God wants for us! It is our ultimate prize for sure! Are you following Jesus! Are you making getting into Heaven you number one priority? Is Heaven the prize you are working toward during this Earth School journey?
