As I brought you through this race with me, I want you to think about this – we are all running (or walking) that same race – the ultimate race. The goal is in front of us. Some will finish their race sooner (due to death) than we do. Those that completed that race await their reward. Don’t give up! Even though you had to walk (or even crawl) at times. Continue forward. Most of us aren’t prepared physically for THE RACE but are working on it. If you’re not, you should be. We need to keep studying, praying, and following God’s statutes so we ... so I can finish My Last Race. I know you can do it.
