Following Jesus is the greatest decision you’ll ever make—but it’s also a journey that requires endurance, faith, and daily surrender. The Christian life is often described as a race, not because it’s about speed, but because it demands perseverance. There will be trials, doubts, and moments of weariness, but remember: you are not running alone. Jesus, who began this good work in you, promises to carry it through to completion (Philippians 1:6). Keep your eyes on Him, the One who endured the cross and now walks beside you. The road may be narrow, but it leads to eternal life. Count the cost, take up your cross, and keep going—step by step, day by day. You are called to faithfulness, and God will give you the strength to endure to the end. One day, you will stand before Him and hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Keep running—we're almost there.
