Philippians 3:7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.
The hubs and I have been married for 25 years, together for 26, and I’m still learning about him—who he is, what he values, how he changes. Because I love him, I seek to know him better, even as we both grow and change through this life.
Philippians 3:8a What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things….
My relationship with Christ should have a similar dynamic. Christ doesn’t change, but I do, and I need to continuously seek to know Him more, know Him better, as I learn and grow. That’s not impossible, but it does take time, effort, and intention.
Philippians 3:8b-9a …I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him…
Lord, This world offers lots of shiny, beautiful distractions, but I don’t want this world. I want You. I want to know You more, better, every single day. Help me be intentional in my pursuit of You. Amen.
Philippians 3:10 I want to know Christ….
Have a blessed day. I
