Thank you for joining us for another episode of "This One Thing" where weekly we focus on the truth of one Scripture and how it applies to our lives. This week Kerri Kenyon Dern and Melina Puente encourage each listener to let go of the past in order to pursue God's call on their lives. Philippians 3:14 says, "I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us."

What do you find yourself striving and reaching for each day? What characterizes the pursuits of your life? In Philippians, Paul clearly defines the only satisfying answer to these questions: to be in the presence of Jesus. Although we are not promised a life protected from suffering, Jesus is worth laying aside every weight and distraction that hinders us from pursuing Him. In order to run this race, Kerri and Melina encourage listeners to let go of the condemnation of the past and fully receive the forgiveness that is given us through Christ. It is then we are freed to experience more of God's love and presence each day. We pray that as you become unfettered from the past, you are able to press on towards the incomparable and eternal prize of knowing Jesus Christ!
