Pressing Toward the Goal

I am really humbled at the thought of God's relentless patience, compassion, forgiveness and mercy on me. I am just so very appreciative that He has spoken, listened, and called. I know this way of life is a journey that takes a lifetime and can only continue through The Light (My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ) showing the The Way and The Truth (Himself, His Ways and His Gospel).  I pray I forever live and walk in the Spirit and that I never step back more than I push forward. Most importantly I pray that I bear the same fruits that God exemplified to me when this journey all began: Galatians 2:22. At a young age, I am thankful to say that I know my life's purpose: to be born in the image and likeness of God (my Elder Brother and Lord Jesus Christ has led a faithful life for me to follow in His likeness) and to ultimately be born in God's family and rule under Christ's authority in the Kingdom of God: Revelation 5:10. I pray that every talent He has given me will be used to the purpose of which I was called and that nothing good I have to offer will be used in vain. I pray that I continue to mature and hardly ever again wrestle against what He wants for me. I think about how many times He has tried to pull me out of the seat of the scornful and the counsel of the ungodly, instead I would wrestle against His motion and thus would be let down again and again because of my ignorant notion that to forgive means to still associate. I pray that as I transition to a better institution of learning than the one I am at now (lol) I will meet people with a mind like Christs and fruits of His Spirit, yet I am very thankful for the friendships I have made here,which was the good aspect of attending school in Atlanta. I am looking forward to this summer, however. I will have plenty of time to recollect and reconstruct, to better myself for the work that is already being done in me. Well, I can go on but I have a summary to write for my Independent Study(lol). I just wanted to express my thoughts and possibly have a reference to those thoughts for a later time when needed. Furthermore, I pray for more fruits of God's Spirit: Galations 2:22 as I continue my unlikely journey on a narrow path once walked before me as my guide to eternity.  I will press toward my foremost most prominent goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus: Philippians 3:14.
