A Core Verse In My Life


Hebrews 12:1-2(NKJV)
1Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 
2looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Run the race with endurance while looking to Jesus.  Pretty simple.  What does it mean to me?  To quote Winston Churchill.

"Never, never, never give up!!!" (on seeing God's plan for your life fulfilled)

Jesus set the example.  He went through way more than we will ever be asked to go through.  Why did He do it?  Because the goal was worth it.  What was the ultimate goal?  Pleasing God.

God has a plan for each one of our lives.  None of us knows what we will be asked to go through.  But does it matter?  If that is what it takes to please God then so be it?  Why?  Because we know the goal is worth it!

As long as you keep your eyes on the goal and look to Jesus for your endurance, you are assured of victory if you just "Never, never, never give up!"
