Running the Race

Running the Race

When the starting gun goes off, everyone takes off with much enthusiasm and energy. You may be encouraged by how far or how fast you run in the first moments, but my child it is not about how fast you run, or how much further you are ahead of others. Each person runs their own race, at their own pace.
So do not be discouraged if it seems as if everyone is passing you by, or if you are walking all alone. Keep your eyes focused on Me, and run the race that I have called you to run.
When you look into My eyes, you will get the strength and courage to keep walking when you are weary, and the inspiration to run full speed when I say you can. With your hand in mine, I will lead you around rocks and obstacles that block your path.
I will also show you the beauty and adventure of the journey you are taking with Me. So focus on Me and run with passion and joy. Your race is not about getting to the destination, but enjoying the time spent with Me by your side!
