Let Us Run The Race Before Us-

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud

of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight,

 and sin which clings so closely, 

and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 

looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter

of our faith, who for the joy that was set 

before him endured the cross, 

despising the shame, and is seated at the 

right hand of the throne of God.

Consider him who endured from sinners such

hostility against himself,

so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted."

-Hebrews 12:1-3
