Keep On Running the Race

K-eep on running the race, 
A-t the perfect level of energy; 
Y-ou're almost at the finish line, 
E-arly twenty-first of January.

M-ay you keep on running the race, 
A-t the fastest velocity; 
N-ever let your guard down, 
A-im at the speed of highest degree.
H-ope, faith, love, and trust
A-re needed to receive God's grace; 
N-o reason to doubt His vow, keep on running the race.

Bernard, when the race is over who will win the race? Perhaps the one who deserve the rest.

Thanks, Carlos for dropping by. This is spiritual race set by God before His children. Those who reach the finish line or those who die in true faith will win or will be saved come Judgment Day......
