Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. 3 Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up. 4 After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin.
Hebrews 12.1-4
We have been living in a great season of loss...family, friends, neighbors (some we knew and many we didn't know personally. It is so easy to quit and give up at time like this.
DON'T QUIT. KEEPING GOING!
KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS AND HIS GREAT LOVE FOR US AS HE WENT TO THE CROSS FOR US!
BE GRATEFUL THAT JESUS DID NOT QUIT AND GIVE UP.
IT WAS FOR YOU AND ME THAT HE REFUSED TO GIVE IN AND GIVE UP SO WE WOULD BE FREE.
FREE INDEED.
THANKS BE TO GOD IN CHRIST JESUS!
