BOM

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” – Colossians 3:23

“Men, in everything we do—whether it’s crushing a workout, leading at home, or serving in our communities—let’s give it our all. God calls us to strive for excellence, not for recognition, but to honor Him with our efforts. The grit we show here in the gloom strengthens not just our bodies but our spirit and leadership. Let’s carry this mindset forward today—work heartily, lead boldly, and lift one another up!”

Marcus Aurelius -> Meditations, Translation by Gregory Hays

Book 7 Verse 22:

“To feel affection for people even when they make mistakes is uniquely human. You can do it, if you simple recognize: that they’re human too, that they act out of ignorance, against their will, and that you’ll both be dead before long. And, above all, that they haven’t really hurt you. They haven’t diminished your ability to choose.”

COT:
Hebrews 12:1-2

[1] Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

[2] looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Sin, no matter how enticing in the moment, hinders us from our race of faith. Let us, together run with endurance as we look to Christ!
