What are you running for?

Are you running to win the prize? Are you running for Me and My glory or are you running for yourself? There are those who claim to run for Me, yet in reality they run for their own fleshly desires. Many of them have already claimed their prize. Their prize is recognition, pride, and everything not of Me. Those who run My race, those who truly run for Me, they will receive their reward. For ALL will be tested by fire. Some will bare silver, gold and precious gems. Some will bare nothing more than ashes. For wood, hay and stubble is what they have done. I tell you, lay down every selfish work, humble yourself and run My race. Receive the prize I have for you. For you are My treasured child sayeth the Lord of hosts.
