Run Christian, Run!

" Let us run the race'- But how shall we run? So run that you may obtain. Many run upon hope of heaven, and get hell in the end. But hear what the Spirit of god says, Lay aside every weight; every clog...Cast off everything that make you heavy: make yourself light, that ye may be nimble, skip and spur away. Run, run, look not behind you, remember Lot's wife. Although you should be like to burst, tarry not. You will mend of a sweat, and a heat, God has a napkin to rub the sweat off you, and He has a chair and a cushion for you, against the race be ended, and He will lay your head in His bosom. Take a little pains in the day, for I promise you, you shall get rest at even. "
