God made me fast. And when I run, I feel His pleasure.

In the dust of defeat as well as the laurels of victory there is a glory to be found if one has done his best.

Obedience to God's will is the secret of spiritual knowledge and insight.

God made me fast. And when I run, I feel His pleasure.

I have no formula for winning the race. Everyone runs in her own way, or his own way. And where does the power come from, to see the race to its end? From within. Jesus said, 'Behold, the Kingdom of God is within you. If with all your hearts, you truly seek me, you shall ever surely find me.' If you commit yourself to the love of Christ, then that is how you run a straight race.

Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God's plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins. God's love is still working. He comes in and takes the calamity and uses it victoriously, working out His wonderful plan of love.

Purity does not mean crushing the instincts but having the instincts as servants and not the master of the spirit.
