Pursue Him and know Him

1
Pursue Him and know Him; be found in Him.
Count all things loss for Him.
Just gain Him, obtain Him; lay hold of Him.
It’s Christ the central vision.
  Forgetting the things which are behind,
Press on, pursue with this mind.
By any means each hour now redeem;
Stretch forth, lay hold of Him.
2
Pursue Him and seize Him, Christ the supreme.
Just love this precious Person.
Forgetting and leaving all other things,
Love Him with your whole being.
3
Christ now is my center and reality,
My life for eternity.
All things are just dung compared to Him,
So love and just gain Him!

Lingering to our past experiences hinders us from pursuing Him..

I remember Lot's wife when she took a lingering look backward at Sodom; she became a pillar of salt. Pursuing the Lord requires our forgetting the things which are behind, otherwise we will be left in shame... Lord! Have mercy on us...

This is the way to go on in our Christian life - to pursue Him and be found in Him and forgetting the things which are behind! In pursuing Him along with the those who call on Him - His Body - we can be preserved for His glory. Lord Jesus! May You strengthen us into our inner man...

I just came back from my last high school retreat and I'm just so happy that I was able to see a vision. Things wouldn't go well at school and I would face many temptations and obstacles, but the Lord will guide me through all the difficulties...All I can do is to build up the body with the saints and to enjoy Him and seek whenever I get lost. Praise You Lord and thank You for Your love...

At the end of college, I had to make a choice between the Lord and my father's will. Eventually I obtained my medical degree but lost Him. His faithfulness brought me back to Himself nearly twenty years later. I see now that truly everything the world has to offer is dung compared to Him. He must be our central vision. Let's just love Him and gain Him!
