A goal is a desired end toward which you direct specific effort. If that goal is to enter into heaven, hearing "well-done, thou good and faithful servant," then your specific efforts are directed upon your knees, where you have entered into the presence of a Holy God, a God of love and majesty -- a God of all power and might. He who breathed life into all mankind, set the boundaries of the seas and orchestrated all of creation, He can meet any goal you may envision. Go to Him often; lay your requests at His feet.
A PRAYER OF LOVE ...
Behold, o' good and sweetest Jesus
I cast myself upon my knees in Thy sight
And with the most fervent desire of my heart
I pray that you will fill me with faith and light.
O' my Jesus, with that same humility
Wherein you washed the disciples feet
Bestow upon me thy everlasting grace
That I may know Thy likeness so sweet.
Bind me to Thyself, I pray
With your sweet chains of holy love
And give me true sorrow each and every day
If I look away ... if I falter or stray.
By reason of your burning love
And your great pain and strife
You have given me grace to suffer, with patience
... all the crosses of my life.
