Arise, run, endure!
Heb 12: 1-4; Mk 5: 21-43
Arise, run and endure is the call today! Situations of death and darkness, moments of drowning spirit and desperate feelings, struggle between right knowledge and raging temptations. ..they abound in our daily life. But we are called to Arise from these landslips and Run the race that is alloted to us with an Endurance that is ready to put up with any difficulty, even upto shedding blood.
The endurance comes from the hope that Our God is an awesome God and can do anything for us. The strength to run the race comes from the faith that the Lord our God is running along and is ever present by our side. The capacity to arise comes from the love that God showers on us, out of which God keeps holding my hand inspite of all situations and keeps whispering into my ears, my son, my daughter, my child, my friend... arise!
