“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2 NIV

- First, we need to master the principle of discarding or throwing all things that hinder and entangle. Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles
Many of us keep a museum, collecting plates, pictures, keeping museum of jealousy, fear, discouragements, etc. Its fine to keep these things or emotions unless it will not hinder you to run the race of life according to God. We cannot do anything with the past. Do not worry about your future because it can cause you anxiety. Whatever your situation at present, focus unto God.
Everyday you wake up you have the choice to witness How great He is. You need to know your source. You should be a witness not a judge.
You need to keep moving. You need to travel your life in light, do not carry your burdens.
Jesus want you to be a vessel of his glory.
It is your choice to change.
Run with endurance.
- Always pass the breaking point, and let us run with perseverance and the race marked out for us.
When you feel like giving up, you feel tired and broken, when the time you cant make it, thats the time Jesus is holding you tight.
Don’t forget about the scars because you need to finish the race strong.
