#GettingPastMe Day 12 - Hebrews 12:1-3 - MSG Strip down, start running—and NEVER QUIT! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on [Jesus], who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how He did it. Because He {never lost sight} of where He was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—He could put up with ANYthing along the way. Today, God held up [a mirror] in front of me, and showed me the quitter that is still lurking on the inside of me. He reminded me of all the times in the past, where I just simply quit... Sports teams: because I was afraid of letting the team down. Jobs: because I wasnt perfect at it. Even school, to an extent, because I didnt think I was capable of high grades. The goals I set for myself, I would stop 3/4 of the way, because I thought that last 1/4 would be impossible. Over the years, without realizing it, I had developed the mentality that if Im doing better than others, then Im doing enough-- that I didnt have to aim for perfection. Perfection seemed too hard, and impossible to reach. Its time for that to change in me. Perfection = doing all that God calls me to do. Perfection IS possible, it just takes someone who WONT quit to get there. It will require me to give my VERY BEST, WITHOUT quitting, stopping or dropping, pushing PAST fear, past doubt, and past me. I wont quit, Lord. #GettingPastMe Movie: Facing the Giants Scene: Death Crawl youtube/watch?v=-sUKoKQlEC4
