Daily Affirmations

Part of my assignment on the Prism homework is to write a personal affirmation that I can read to myself every day to bring transformation to my mind as my body is changing. I wrote a one but it came out disjointed and seemed strange to me.

SO, here is what I decided to do. My words, even repeated every day are likely to return void. But God's Word never returns void. So for my personal affirmation is this:

Philippians 3:12-21 (New International Version)

Pressing on Toward the Goal

 ¹²Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. ¹³Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, ¹⁴I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.  ¹⁵All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. ¹⁶Only let us live up to what we have already attained.
 ¹⁷Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. ¹⁸For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. ¹⁹Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. ²⁰But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

I think that will do just fine. And, Lord willing, by the time I get to the "true me" I will have it memorized. I am planning on it.
