Run Your Own Race
Run your own race apart from the thoughts and opinions of others. Our Heavenly Father loves us. He sent His Son to redeem us. We are the apple of His eye. What He thinks of us matters. His opinion of us is the only opinion that matters. Our material world is constantly trying to get us to think that what others think of us is of utmost importance. Such beliefs have caused some of us to compile mountains of debt purchasing things we cannot afford in order to fashion a lifestyle for people who, in the end, really don’t care. True freedom is the freedom from the thoughts and opinions of others.
