Running Into the Wind

The wind whips fiercely in my face,

I run to into the gale;

I find that when the wind’s most fierce

It’s easier to sail.

For gentle breezes soothe the waves

When there’s no where to go,

But for the wind on which to fly

I need the fiercest blow.

Thus I must face adversity

Not as a fearful thing,

But run at it with confidence

Until it gives me wing!

1 Corinthians 9:26
Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.
