The Race

RUN awhile and rest awhile is the motto (unspoken and unwritten, it is true) of many a traveler to heaven! We are prone to be zealous by spurts; few run the race with even patience. Running with patience involves much endurance, and great purpose. Staying power is what we all want; power to keep going on, on, on. Keeping the goal in view; gives the Christian this staying power.
BE humbled, walk softly. Down, down, for God’s sake, my dear and worthy brother, with your topsail. Stoop, stoop! it is a low entry to go in at heaven’s gate. ―Extracted.
