Sometimes God has to knock you down before he can lift you up.

What 'thorn' keeps you dependent on God?
Some thorns aren't removed — they're redeemed.
I forget what's behind and strain toward what's ahead. I press on toward the goal.
What past is holding you back from pressing forward?

I've fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. Now a crown of righteousness awaits me.
What kind of finish line do you want to cross?
