"for the joy set before Him..
for the joy, He endured the pain.
for the joy, He suffered the shame...
"and He'd do it all again.
yes, He'd do it all again...
for the joy...."

i've just read bk. of
philippians. ONE THING ONLY.

"but one thing i do: forgetting
what is behind...and straining
toward what is ahead. press on
toward the goal to win...."

push forward.
don't even look back.
we are runners. warriors.
not to be deterred.
oh, i lose the picture
so quickly.

but i want to be a ONE THING
PERSON. always looking to
Jesus. seeking to be His.
following with wide-heart
and joyful anticipation.
