We are in a brilliant spiritual career that will lead us to eternal life, that glorious life that we long for and which has been gifted to us by our Heavenly Father, not for something we deserved, but for his infinite grace and mercy towards us.
However, I can tell you that in this race there will be endless obstacles, situations that will want to prevent us from reaching the goal, situations that, far from giving us strength, will want to weaken us, but that is where the true believer has to analyze what it is. more convenient: "Abandon the Race" or "Reach the goal one way or another."
In the Gospel of Matthew 24:13, the Lord exhorts us, saying: "But he who endures to the end will be saved."

Although the race has obstacles and many obstacles that may make it difficult to walk in it, what matters is that "the Lord gives strength to those who have none."
The race can cause fatigue and a lot of fatigue, however, the Lord is always ready to shake the hand of those who fall. No matter the condition of pain and suffering, with which you have to reach the end of the race, the wonderful thing is that in the hands of Christ is the crown that he will place on your head. Do not abandon the race for any circumstance of life, be persistent and constant putting your eyes on the reward that is Jesus Christ. Don't forget that an incorruptible crown awaits you and a glorious paradise that God has prepared for those who run the spiritual race in the hope of winning the prize.
Be a great competitor whose only goal is to achieve eternal life, even if there is spiritual fatigue and spiritual cramp in the race, do not forget that if you persevere to the end your salvation will be guaranteed.
The stadium where you race your race may be full of spectators, yet the eyes of God are on you to encourage you to reach the goal with your tiredness, exhaustion and weakness.
Anyone who runs on the spiritual track with an eye toward his reward, which is Christ, will receive abundant strength from God and the wonderful crown of salvation.
