I will like Paul, forget those things which are behind and press forward;
Like David, lift up mine eyes to the hills from whence cometh my help;
Like Abraham, trust implicitly in my God;
Like Enoch, walk in daily fellowship with my heavenly Father;
Like Jehoshaphat, prepare my heart to seek God;
Like Moses, choose rather to suffer than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Like Daniel, commune with God at all times;
Like Caleb and Joshua, refuse to be discouraged because of superior numbers;
Like Joseph, turn my back to all seductive advances;
Like Gideon, advance even though my friends are few;
Like Aaron and Hur, uphold the hands of my spiritual leaders;
Like Isaiah, consecrate myself to do God's work;
Like Andrew, strive to lead my brother into closer walk with Christ.
Like John, lean upon the bosom of my Master and imbibe in His Spirit;
Like Stephen, manifest a forgiving spirit toward all who seek hurt.
Like Timothy, study the Word of God;
Like the heavenly host, proclaim the message of peace on earth and good will toward men.
And like my Lord Himself, overcome all earthly allurements by refusing to succumb to their enticements.
Realizing that I cannot hope to achieve these objectives by my own strength, I will rely upon Christ for "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
As I journey with my King, I will set prints that will make a difference in other people's lives and giving greater glory to my King...
to make your dream into reality keep thinking positive thoughts and know that you have the ability to do anything find the encouragement inside yourself to know that you're worthwhile and distinct -- someone who deserves the very best there is...
