Paul basically says: stop building your worth on the “resume.” Religious performance. Reputation. People’s approval. “Doing it right.” He had ALL of it… and then he drops the mic: “Whatever was gain to me, I count it as loss.” Why? Because the things he once leaned on for identity were actually keeping him from real freedom. Then he makes it personal: I don’t want a righteousness I build. I want the kind that comes from relationship. I want to know Him — not just know about Him. And knowing Him includes both: • resurrection power (life, victory, strength) • and the fellowship of suffering (the hard seasons that refine you) Then comes the part that feels like therapy AND discipleship: “Forgetting what is behind…” Not pretending it didn’t happen. Not erasing the past. But refusing to let it drive the future. And he admits something we all need to hear: “Not that I’ve already arrived…” He’s still in process… but he’s committed to the direction. Press on. Stay focused. Keep moving. Run your race. This is the blueprint: Stop rehearsing the old identity. Release the old “gains.” Let the past be a teacher, not a master. And pursue the life you were created for — on purpose. That’s maturity. That’s freedom. That’s Philippians 3. 💙 #epicyourlife #amishmatchmakers #single2married #goodword #deepdive
