“Almost” is a sad word that seeks to soften lost opportunities; a clumsy consolation to justify aborted efforts and moments we have not taken advantage of. We have all used that word at some point, coining it into a phrase of self-justification. But the Christian race is not a simple jog, but a demanding, exhausting, and sometimes agonizing marathon. The Lord is a God of longevity, of permanence. If today you feel weak and about to give up, do not abandon the race; stay focused and do not lose your bearings. Even when you feel like you can't run any more, the Lord is always with you!
