Philippians 3:7, 10
But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.
All my material possessions are now an encumbrance, a weight, heavy on my shoulders. Father, please help me to rid myself of the remainder of these things so that I may be free to serve you wherever you may send me.
I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death.
Jesus is my prize! I want not His blessings, I want Him! The things of this world are temporary and passing, and I am finding that I have no need of an abundance of things. My desire is to know Christ, intimately as my Husband. I want to be transformed into His image, to be like Him in my thoughts, words and actions. The power of God that raised Jesus from the dead is the same power that is working in me. Father, help me to be faithful to You and Your ways!
