Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:12 NASB

Laid hold of as a chosen instrument, vessel, by Christ Jesus, I am a bond-servant of His and nothing can separate me from the love of Christ.

In devotion to You, Jesus, who has already laid hold of me, I will press on to the upward call of God. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I will fight the good fight of faith with a clear conscience. I pray for self-control in all things, setting aside any hindrances and sin that entangles so I can run the race with endurance, disciplining my body by making it my slave and putting to death deeds of the flesh and living by the Spirit. Help me to run in such a way that I will win and receive the crown of life and the wreath of glory. Thank You, Jesus, for my life. I pray I will bring honor and glory to Your name as I press on. In Your name I pray, amen.

We are a work in progress. We have not yet become perfect but when the perfect comes the partial will be done away. Grow in Christ, letting Him chip away the partial to bring you to perfection.
1 Corinthians 13:10

🌹I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Galatians 2:20 NASB
