Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God. Luke 9:62

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14
