Hebrews 12:1
THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us,
What unnecessary weights do you need to throw off?
How do you go about throwing off unnecessary weights?

I am really struggling with this right now. I feel like all of my character flaws are glowing like bright lights, but I don’t know how to change them. I also don’t read People magazine, that is one encumbrance I had to throw off several years ago.:)
