When I was in High School and College I ran cross country. The races were, of course, difficult, but nothing was more difficult than the practices. Why? Because we ran double, and sometimes more, the distance we had to run in the race; usually about 10 miles. That is a long way to run, and there isn't an easy way to do. Through the run the temptation is there to simply stop running, to give up. But I knew it would make me better for the races, so I kept going. So it is with faith. Faith is like a long distance run. We run very far, and we run for a very long time. Along the way things happen that make us want to stop moving, to give up. We must press on, though. We must continue to run, to move forward. We cannot fall away, or things will get worse for us. We'll lose Jesus. Keep running. God bless you.
