Run Free

Life is a race we are running, towards Jesus and heaven is the finish line. Do you feel so weary and injured from conflicts with other believers that you are sitting down, not moving forward?  

In the name of Jesus, I say to you, “Get up and run!”

“We are surrounded by a great cloud of people whose lives tell us what faith means. So let us run the race that is before us and never give up. We should remove from our lives anything that would get in the way and the sin that so easily holds us back. Let us look only to Jesus, the One who began our faith and who makes it perfect. He suffered death on the cross. But He accepted the shame as if it were nothing because of the joy that God put before Him. And now He is sitting at the right side of God’s throne. Think about Jesus’ example. He held on while wicked people were doing evil things to Him. So do not get tired and stop trying.” (Hebrews 12:1-3)

Keep going because there is joy in your future.

Keep going because of Jesus.

Keep going because you want to be one of the heroes of faith.

Shake off everything that makes you heavy.

Remove any stones on your path.

If your sin tries to trap you, get free.

If your past tries to pull you backwards, let go.

Life is short.

Run the race!

“I run in the path of your commands, for You have set my heart free.”  (Psalm 119:32)
