Hebrews 12:1

Hebrews 12:1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.

Lord, you are always there, encouraging us. Let us be a light unto the world, especially in this most miraculous of seasons - setting aside our own hurts, weariness, and sin to uplift You and your Son forever and ever.
