Eyes on the cross

Running The Race

Being a Woman ,I always have running list of things to do,Goals to set,Tasks waiting to be accomplished.Just when I checked off a few,I realize that I've added more to the list - Never ending

Thank God that his mercies are never ending
I encourage you let's run the race,Laying aside every weight,including the lists of things waiting to be done and the things that keep us from him.
Let's fix our eyes on JESUS,and run hard after him.In doing so we will run straight
into the Father's Loving Arms.

Hebrews 12:1-2

Therefore,since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,the author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Humility

Definition : Humble
The Dictionary says that Humble means to have or show a low estimate
of one's own importance

This definition is helpful but it doesn't say completely what we mean by being humble.We are not unimportant - God thinks we are extremely important.we are important in our christian community too.we should show a low estimate of our importance and have a high regard for the importance of others.This means putting others first.

Phillipians 2:5-11
Jesus was important but he showed Humility.He put others first,including you and me.

my life is in Jesus hands
