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, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith."

Reflection

Life is often compared to a marathon, and this verse reminds us that we aren't running alone. By fixing our eyes on Jesus, we find the strength to shed our heavy burdens and run with endurance toward the joy set before us.
