He also made me fast...

I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure. -Eric Liddell (Chariots of Fire)

Yesterday I ran a distance of 6K's for the first time ever, beating my previous distance record by about 1.5K. Although it certainly wasn't fast, nor that impressive as distance running goes, it made me remember that God makes us all for a purpose. He's given me the ability to run, and for too long I squandered his gift by getting fat and lazy. But if it gives him pleasure to make me able to run, then I'm going to keep running.
