My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace,
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God;
'Tis His to lead me there—not mine, but His—
At any cost, dear Lord, by any road.
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God;
'Tis His to lead me there—not mine, but His—
At any cost, dear Lord, by any road.

So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,
And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;
Upheld by Him, my soul is following hard
Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.
And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;
Upheld by Him, my soul is following hard
Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.

No matter if the way be sometimes dark,
No matter though the cost be oft-times great,
He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,
The way that leads to Him must needs be strait.
No matter though the cost be oft-times great,
He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,
The way that leads to Him must needs be strait.

One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
My God my glory here, from day to day,
And in the glory there my great Reward.
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
My God my glory here, from day to day,
And in the glory there my great Reward.

Lord, thank You for Your eternal plan! Be my goal in my life, my dear Jesus!

This song is such a reminder. Our goal is God HIMSELF! not anything else, even peace and joy. God Himself should be our goal!

Praise the Lord! He has the best plan for us. His intentions are always good. No matter what may come up in our daily living, if we simply continue to trust and lean on Him, depending on Him as our only One, He will lead us on. Oh, how we just love You, Lord Jesus!

Beloved, do not think that the fiery ordeal among you, coming to you for a trail, is strange, as if it were a strange thing happening to you; but inasmuch as you share in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice! for the God of all grace, he who has called you into His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself perfect, establish, strengthen, and ground you!!

No matter at any cost, no matter at any price, we still pursue towards our goal, God. We are becoming this lovely one, and it is not by any of our trying, but it is through the Lord's boundless love. We exercise our will to choose Him, and He does the rest.
May we pursue God Himself in all situations in glory to glory.
