Carry Me Dad

Here's one more (unintentionally) parent themed reminder of God's love :D

I first saw this video on facebook awhile back and it really spoke to me. Not that I've ever ran in the Olympics or tore a hamstring before, but I have wanted to give up so many times. Well have a watch and you'll understand what I mean.

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." - Hebrews 12:2-3 (New International Version)

The next time you feel like giving up, fix your eyes upon Jesus and you'll find the strength to keep running. Don't just focus not on His sacrifice though. Focus on the love that compelled him to sacrifice. Because there's no substance on earth that rocket-propels us forward like the unconditional love of Christ! Imagine if a human dad would carry his son out of love, what wouldn't your Father do for you out of His perfect love?

So the next time you feel like dropping out of the race, remember there's a God; your Dad in heaven who loves you so much, He can't resist when you cry out "carry me dad".

GOD LOVES YOU.
