Running ,running running making plans, doing our own thing.Sure when it is beneficial to us that's what we do but, what happens when somebody upsets and hurts you? and the Lord says be nice anyway because, I see the real you in spite of your flaws. I want you to see him/her the same way and forgive.......... seems our run becomes a lite jog. then when he says go to the atheist and tell them that "I" am Lord and I shed my blood for him too......ooohhh it becomes a skip and slow drag then. what about " Oh my goodness I cant believe you did that to me!"......uh huh? BETRAYAL. our run becomes a halt and we turn around and go the other way just like Jonah did.
I have had those types of runs, jogs ,skips and halts. I have felt every single one of those emotions. The Lord never said it would be easy but once you understand the reason,your purpose and know that what you do, and how you do it has a bigger picture. it wont be hard to keep your stride the same. Every now and then we might hit a pothole, it happens from time to time. We suffer bruises that we think will never heal.We believe it was a conspiracy and we were being set up,Newsflash! we are! Our lives have been predestined for greatness.Sometimes we go our own way and hit the bumpy trail instead of the smooth paved one the Lord has set before us. we are the chosen vessels, that God uses to send his message to a lost and dying world .we are the the running the race not for just ourselves but for other souls that hang in the balance.All in all running is not so bad, especially when I know "Its For The Glory of My Daddy!"
