Race....
Booom!!!!

And that was the start of a race...

A race which could last a lifetime...

She never thought life would be so light for once.....

So she decided to take a step of faith to run for Him....

she ran and she ran...

she never thought she could go that far and so she continued to run....

running and running,she began to feel tired....

she saw some trees which had apples growing near a field....

she felt thirsty and then wanted to quench her thirst but wait....

if she stop, she would be disqualified...

and also..she was told not to eat or drink anything from the field which was the trees that had apples......

she began to think that maybe she could sneak in for awhile and just grab one to just fill her for awhile....

but when she wanted to do that.....

she saw a man...he was one of the spectators....

so she decided that she should just forget about it and continue running....

she ran and she ran and somehow got a spark to run faster....

but at the middle of the race she saw a man selling some drinks...

she thought maybe she could just grab a bottle and drink when they are not watching...

but the man had a son who was part of the spectator.....and yes u guessed it right she decided not to do that...

after running a few miles.....she felt that she has lost all her sense of desire to run

she felt that maybe all that she had ran for was useless and can only be done by real athletes....

she also focussed on her muscles which were so painful...and her dry lips made her want to cry for water.....

she also noticed that the guy next to her who was also running the race was spitting out words which discouraged her.....

deep inside she cried for help...she asked Him why all this pain and discouragement......and she shed tears of weariness......

in those seconds of her pain and suffering...she began to hear a little voice ...more like the wind...it whispered and told her to just let go and surrender it all to Him....and she did.....

that very moment...she lifted her life to God...... she ran, but in a tired state.....after running for 95 years...she saw the finish line and although exhausted...she took a sprint and got first in the longest most painful race of alll....

the reward she got?????

eternal life and a perfect home called the Kingdom of heaven....

Sometimes in life we get tired..we decide to run the race for Him and get tired..honestly I always get tired and and even stop...I commit sins which I cannot forgive myself ....but in those times when I felt really down and low was the times I learnt lessons in life the most....so don't give up and keep running for Him...I'm still running and I can't wait to see the finish line when I'm 90++++ hehehehehe.......
