I am a runner. Every day before I run, I set myself a goal, and I usually meet it. But there is one run that I have not yet attained—that of doing a marathon. And that is because I have not set the goal. Paul talks about the goal of a higher calling in Christ Jesus. That higher calling is to be like Jesus. To get to that place we must let go of the past hurts and mistakes. We cannot move ahead while carrying the past; it weighs us down. Let go of anger, bitterness, hurt, and unforgiveness so you can finish strong as you run the race set before you.
