Are there times when you don’t feel like who Jesus has called you to be?

'For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.' -- Ephesians 1:4

      Are there times when you don’t feel holy, righteous, and blameless?

'For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh— ' ---Philippians 3:3

Paul tells us, despite how we feel, not to put our confidence in the flesh! Don’t depend on your feelings to tell you who you are but instead, believe and depend on what God has said about you! Let's boast and put our confidence in Jesus Christ!

Paul also reminds us to press on and not to look back at what we once were but to strain towards what is ahead! 

'Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. '  Philippians 3:12  ... But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, '  Philippians 3:13
