This must be the direction of our lives if we truly know Jesus Christ - faces set like flint to run after the goal He sets before us. We know we are not yet as we should be, and we also do not excuse away sin because we are not there yet. We have to run life's race by God's rules, not our own. So, we ask forgiveness in sincerity, get up, and go on, knowing we are not there but not giving up to get closer every day. We do not dwell on the past (good or bad), but learn from and build on it. Press on!
Philippians 3:12-14
12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
