Straining Forward

 

A brother dying with a card in his hand: I will meet you on the other side.

  1. Flying hard to lift it
  2. Straining to push it forward
  3. Over-exerting himself on cord/rope to pull it forward
  4. Words underneath saying, “I’m coming, but I will be a little late.”

Philippians 3:12-14  Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.  (13)  Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,  (14)  I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 4:6-8  For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.  (7)  I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.  (8)  Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

How bad do you want to go to heaven? Are you ready, right now?

If I can help, please let me know.

May God bless you,

We love you

Until we can talk again, goodbye for now.
