Pressing toward the high calling of Christ* I’m resolved to do my best, grace-sufficed… First, to love the Lord by His gracious might while in His Word, will, work and ways delight… Second, I should be more prayerful with increasing faith as God’s steward, fruitful… Third, my soul must practice prudent mindfulness’ moments midst varied multi-tasking role-involvements… Fourth, to continue in working partnership around the Master's fellowship midst praise-filled worship... Fifth, with the Holy Spirit's guidance and compassion glow may divine virtues of kindness and charity I can show... Sixth, I persist daily, all by the mercy of the Almighty to be a blessing to others, marked by cheerful serenity… Seventh, cleaving to the Father, I must stay blissfully blest conscientiously fulfilling list along healthy zest.
*Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
