Run the race God set before you...emotion will open the gate for the run, but discipline is required to finish. You've got what it takes...Christ has equipped you. You will be tempted constantly, but you won't face anything new under the sun; God will provide you a way out...every moment, you have the choice to rely on His strength that's in you. God's faithful-He's with you during every tough decision; remain in Him and He will remain in you. Breathe, receive His strength, press forward, then do it...again, and again, and again. If you fall, learn from it-what tripped you? Take responsibility for what you can correct and release it to Jesus; not allowing anything to take your eyes off of the prize-then get back in race. Be intentional, the moment you're in...right now, is the moment Christ equips you in. "I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency]. Run the race God set before you...you've got what it takes friend! (1 Cor 10:13, Jn 15:4, 1 Cor 9:24-27, Phil 4:13) 12/5/12CIFL-LMM
