Morning — July 8 — 1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. — 1 John 1:9The Christian life is a race, but you don't run it by staring at your feet. You run by looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. He's not just the starting line and the finish line — He's the power to run the whole race. He endured the cross, despising the shame, for the joy set before Him. When your legs get heavy, don't look at the obstacles; look at the One who's already crossed the finish line for you.
