Spirit


Well i shared this video in CG.
Its actually about this guy called John Stephen Arkwari, he is from Tanzania and participated in the 1968 Olympics race. What happened was tht he had a heavy fall at the beginning of the race, he injured badly on his knees, dislocating his joint.
Rather than quitting, a voice within him told him to keep on running. Finally, 2 hours later, he finished the race and crossed the line. The competition won him the title of 'a King without crown'.
After the whole marathon, the reporter asked him.' Why do you still continue to run when you actually had a bad fall right at the beginning?'.
And he simply answered,
'My country did not send me 5000 miles to enter the race, but my country sent me 5000 miles to finish the race.'
I never forget this person because i just feel what he said reflected our walk with Jesus, that
God didn't save you just to enter the race, but he sent us to finish the race for him.
