ALMOST

In Max Lucado's book, "No Wonder They Call Him Savior" he writes, "Pilate almost performed what would have been history's greatest act of mercy. He almost pardoned the Prince of Peace. He almost released the Son of God. He almost opted to acquit the Christ. Almost. He had the power. He had the choice. He wore the signet ring. The option to free God's Son was his, & he did it...almost." 

My question today to me is this, what am I ALMOST doing for the Christ? 

Am I almost surrendering my all to Him? Am I almost obeying His call on my life? 

Am I almost serving others? Am I almost serving Him by serving the ones His has hand picked to be in my life? 

What am I, or am I not, ALMOST doing for the One I call my LORD? 

Who is it my LORD is calling me to have mercy upon today? 

Who is it my LORD is calling me to pardon today? 

Who or what is it my LORD is calling me to 'release' today? 

What am I going to opt out of today because it is hard or uncomfortable or out of my way or takes to much of my time to do? 

What am not going to obey when I hear His voice because, well, I just don't want to!? 

I have the choice, and so do you? The option is mine, and yours to do this day. ALMOST is not good enough. Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. Pro 3:27
