I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ
Jesus.
Poor Charlie Brown. The proverbial loser, continually dissatisfied with himself. The reason
Charlie Brown continues to be so popular is that many of us can see ourselves in him.
Of course, God sees us much differently. We are his children. Who God loves and who are full
of great potential.
(Philippians 3.14
NRSV)
Some years back there was a Peanuts stories that showed Charlie Brown working on a
woodworking project. Lucy came by and asked: "How's the birdhouse coming along, Charlie
Brown?" He replied, "Well, I'm a lousy carpenter. I can't nail straight. I can't saw straight and I
always split the wood...I'm nervous, I lack confidence, I'm stupid, I have poor taste and
absolutely no sense of design..." And then in the last frame he concluded, "So, all things
considered, it's coming along OKAY."
Lord Jesus, help me to be a good daughter or son to our Father in heaven, as I work to realize
my great Christian potential. Amen.
