Forgetting those things which are
behind … I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God
in Christ Jesus.
Phil 3:13-14 (KJV)
It is not by regretting what is irreparable that true work is to be
done, but by making the best of what we are. It is not by complaining that we
have not the right tools, but by using well the tools we have. What we are, and
were we are, is God’s providential arrangement—God’s doing, though it may be
man’s misdoing. Life is a series of mistakes, and he is not the best Christian
who makes the fewest false steps. He is the best who wins the most splendid
victories by the retrieval of mistakes. –F. W. Robertson
