Brothers and sisters, I know that I still have a long way to go. But there is one thing I do: I forget what is in the past and try as hard as I can to reach the goal before me.
The person who is right with me will live by trusting in me. But I will not be pleased with the one who turns back in fear.” Habakkuk 2:3-4 (Greek version)
Elisha immediately left his oxen and ran after Elijah. Elisha said, “Let me kiss my mother and father goodbye. Then I will follow you.” Elijah answered, “You can do that. I will not stop you.”
