This Race Can Be Won...

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. - 1 John 1:9

Sin can be a powerful barrier between us and God. If we let it, it can keep us from communicating or coming to our father. Shame and guilt can overwhelm us. This can lead to fear and depression. We lose faith in our ability to walk the way Jesus did. The truth is that God loves us. Sin doesn't change that fact. That is why Jesus came. Our ability to run the race that is set before us isn't in our own strength; it is in God's. As Christians, we rely on the redemption of Jesus Christ every moment of every day. We shouldn't be trying to live life on our own strength. We have a Papa who loves us and is there to guide us each step of the way. Leaning on the everlasting arms of Christ is what living a Godly life is about. It makes it possible. Praise God that he sent his son so that we are able to be forgiven, washed clean. No matter what you have done, God's plan is still good. He still loves you. Stay on the path. This race can be won.
