Hebrews 12 instructs us to throw off everything that weighs us down and hinders us from running our race, but what if what kept us held back from true freedom in Christ was our own obligation? Do we read Scripture out of obligation, or desire? Do we pray because we have to, or because we want to? Do we worship because that's part of our routine, or because it is our pleasure to do so? What does it look like to have heart in following Christ? How does heart affect the way in which we do things?
