"Almost" Carries No Weight By Rhonda Lane Phillips
In our house, it is a ritual to watch A Christmas Carol each December. There's a line the first Spirit says to Scrooge that always awakens my heart: "Almost" carries no weight-especially in matters of the heart.
Scrooge "almost" ran after Belle. Yet, he chose not to do so, thereby clinching his life of misery and loneliness.
How many times have we seen the same in others' hearts? They "almost" get the blessings that are in store for them by living a godly life. They "almost" accept Jesus as their personal Saviour. They "almost" serve Him gladly.
But they choose not to to do so and suffer the consequences. "Almost" means nothing. Being sold out fully to God means everything. Commit your life wholly to Him.
