Nourish Your Spirit: February 13, 2012

“…. Let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us….” Hebrews 12:1

We are all runners in the race of faith. It is a lifelong marathon that requires us to stay in shape, to take care of ourselves and one another. We run one step at a time, one foot in front of the other. Sometimes our route takes us downhill, sometimes uphill. Sometimes we face all kinds of barriers and limitations in our way. Yet each step of the way, we keep our eyes on Jesus Christ, the one who runs before us and calls out, “You can do it!” The one who encourages and comforts us even when the going is tough. He runs ahead and circles around behind us. He does not leave us alone.

One step at a time,

Pastor Deborah
