Will you accept help from our Father?

In the 1992 Olympic games, Derek Redmond went down with an injury while running the 400 meter semi-final. Instead of leaving the field, he finished the race with his father’s help.

The official record of this race states that Redmond did not finish. However, this has become one of the most remembered moments of Olympic history.

Are you running the race in the arms of your Father in Heaven?

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (Matthew 11:28-29)
