Finishing Well
...let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus the champion who initiates and perfects our faith....Think of all the hostility He endured from sinful people, then you won't become weary and give up. (He12:1-3) Finishing is better than starting... (Ec7:8)
