Run Sister...Run!

October 1, 2020

I love the movie Forrest Gump!

I can watch it over and over again.

My favorite part is when the school boys chase Forrest and the love of his life (Jenny) shouts, ”Run Forrest…Run!” As Forrest runs through the fields, the braces that once limited his mobility fell from his legs and he began to run faster than anyone else.

For me, the movie is a constant reminder that we can overcome any obstacle if we press forward towards victory.

What’s holding you back?

  • Feelings of Insecurity...Weight!
  • Thoughts of Insufficiency…Weight!
  •  Economic Status…Weight!
  • Lack of Spiritual Discipline…Weight!
  • Emotional Instability…Weight!
  • Fear of Failure…Weight!
  • Fear of Success…Weight!
  • Pride...Jealously...Lying...Selfishness..Stealing...Unforgiveness...Fornication...Adultery...Homosexuality....  ALL WEIGHTS!

Weughts will forever hold us back and pull us down from becoming all that God has in store.

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:1-3)
