“Almost.” The word may perplex you, like it did me.
If you are a person of faith, you know deeply that God wants us to have a full life… One full of extravagant love, meaningful relationships, purposeful careers, and surrounded by what is good.
Why then do we often settle for “almost?” As in…
- “I almost eat right…”
- “I am almost where I want to be financially…”
- “My partner is almost the person I know I’m supposed to be with…”
- “I almost have a spiritual life that I’m growing from daily…”
- “I almost spend time with the people I love as often as I want to…”
We all settle for different reasons, be it lack of discipline, lack of belief that there really is something better, lack of faith that God could orchestrate the impossible in [name the area].
This idea of “almost” recently hit me squarely where God needed it to. I have had some areas where “almost” was starting to ease its way into my daily routine. I’m not willing to have an “almost” life and I know for absolute sure that is not God’s plan for me – or you.
If you think you may have some areas that you need to stop “settling” in, my prayer this week is that you will seek God’s plan full on with a spirit of both joy and accountability. You deserve to have all that is yours!
