As born again believers our Frame of Mind should be an eternal perspective- that we are in an eternal relationship right now with our Heavenly Father.  The book of Hebrews reminds us to "run with endurance".  We are in it for the long haul, but it's not a race where we have to strain to find the finish line and earn our gold medal...it's a victory lap or a fun run that has already been decided by the work of Jesus Christ on the cross.  Now we can relax in Him, bask in the goodness of His victory, and walk in our new identity.
