Day 351 (Philippians 1-4) - Year 6

Everything I worked so hard for and everything that was given to me in my privilege, it's garbage. The word Paul uses here for garbage or rubbish would be a curse word in modern language. That's how strong the contrast is between what the world values and the all-surpassing value of knowing Jesus. And Paul says he knows Jesus, but he wants to know him more. He presses on. He leans in.
