We have temptation, we have shame, we have loneliness that wants to derail us and keep us from crossing the finish line. But Jesus finished the race so you could finish the race. You don’t have to be derailed by temptations, even temptations you’ve given into. You don’t have to stop running because shame seems so heavy that your legs don’t want to run anymore. That shame has been discarded by the cross. And the silence that wants to convince you that you are not worthy and that there’s no love for you; you are about to turn the corner and see the finish line.
