My goal
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14; NIV).
Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant (Galatians 1:10; NLT).
Lord,
You are my goal.
Please help me
To leave behind
All that proves unhelpful
As I press on through life
Towards you –
Even if other people
Disapprove!
