Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
— Hebrews 12: 1-2 (NLT)

I was reading this scripture in one of my devotionals yesterday. These verses really stood out to me, especially since we’ve all entered into 2021. New year, new opportunities. Therefore, let us drop everything that hinders us and go after what Christ has called us to do.
