Keep on Running, and Never Give Up! ..Keep your Eyes On The Prize!

(1 Corinthians 9:24 KJV) “Know ye not that they run in a race run all, But one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

But this race is a marathon and not a sprint. Can you endure until the end the way that you are presently running? Are you running as though you are chasing something? Or are you running as though you are being chased?

So there is a way to win! Because we can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth US.(Philippians 4:13 KJV) So let us stay focused, eyes on the prize, don’t worry about the obstacles, or the distractions, or the opinions of the people that try to hold you back and that don’t understand your race! Because Faith says you can make it! You Can Win!!!
