Thought for the Day 6/13/2013

Perseverance is not a long race;

    it is many short races one after another.

-Walter Elliott

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,

    let us also lay aside every weight, and

            sin which clings so closely, and

let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

   looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith,

who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,

       despising the shame, and

is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:1-2
