More and Yet More
Philippians 3:12-14
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after…


You know what the general said when one of his officers rode up and cried, "Sir, we have taken a standard." "Take another," cried he. Another officer salutes him, and exclaims, "Sir, we have taken two guns." "Take two more," was the sole reply. This way lies the reward of holy service: you have done much; you shall do more.

(C. H. Spurgeon.)
