"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
-Hebrews 12:1, 2
Frustration, difficulty, desire, it's hard!....oh....endurance. Oh...lay it aside. Oh...Jesus. The author and perfecter of our faith. Oh.
It is difficult not to let yourself be distracted, but that's why we need endurance.
Thank You, Lord, for giving us examples. People who endure are inspiring.
Progress, not perfection. There's a reason we need Jesus as the perfecter of our faith (He is the most inspiring of all...by far....by farther than far).
Turn your eyes, O my soul, to Jesus, my great High Priest. He has been tempted in every way and understands and sympathizes with our weaknesses. Let me not be anywhere that You aren't, my Lord. For reasons not completely explainable He welcomes me back with open arms to stand before the throne of grace.
