The Tragedy of “Almost”
“For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner. King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.” Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?” Paul said, “I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.” The king rose up with the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them.” (Acts 26:26-30 WEB)
The passage above records a very tragic moment. King Agrippa was on the verge of believing in Jesus as Lord, but he hardened his heart and stood up, rejecting the free gift of eternal life.
His actions are essentially saying this, “Stop it. I don’t want to hear anymore. I refuse to accept Jesus Christ as Lord.”
Other translations render Agrippa’s words like this:
“Then Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time [and with so little effort] you [almost] persuade me to become a Christian.”” (Acts 26:28 AMP)
The word “almost” is the great tragedy.
It is like coming so close to the finish line in a race but fainting and being disqualified when you are just a hair’s breadth away.
Hell contains many souls who are “almosts”.
“I should have responded when that preacher asked for us to place our faith in Jesus. Why did I harden my heart? I almost got saved, but now it is too late...”
“Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tested me by proving me, and saw my deeds for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways;’ as I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”” (Hebrews 3:7-11 WEB)
It is possible to know with the mind that Jesus is the Son of God and everything that He claims to be, and yet not be saved.
A person has to believe and confess Him as Lord. If you just believe that He is the Son of God but don’t receive Him as Lord, you are not saved.
Even the demons believe that God is real, but they don’t submit to Him as Lord.
The Holy Spirit convicts the hearts of unbelievers about their sinfulness and woos them to receive Jesus Christ as Lord. But they can choose to reject it. Every individual must choose to accept or reject the gift of eternal life.
Yet, it is God’s will for all to hear the Gospel and to be saved. No matter how dark someone’s past is, he can freely receive forgiveness of sins when he places his faith in Jesus as Lord!
If you are already a born-again believer, through faith in Jesus, you have entered God’s rest—the rest of your conscience and also rest from works-based justification.
You are a saint who is already sanctified, justified, saved, holy, righteous, pure, and blameless. The next time you read these words in the Bible, don’t feel condemned or shrink away. These words describe who you already are in Christ.
“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” (Colossians 2:8-10 NKJV)
Dear brethren, you are not an “almost”. You are complete in Christ.
Let someone know the Gospel so that they are not almost, but fully saved through faith in Jesus Christ!

Hi friends, how’s your weekend?
.
I came across this art work from the lovely illustrator 🌜 yoga teacher]
It feels like what we are going through presently in 🇲🇾
Despite our best intentions, the struggle can be real!
.
Just sharing some basic ways to cultivate ONE or little by little everyday #selfcarematters
.
1. Nourishment
Eating and drinking what you need, cheat day included.
.
2. Physical activity
Yoga and/or any other type of workout, new/existing hobbies.
.
3. Spiritual Practice
Yoga, Meditation - any forms, Breath work, Time with Nature.
.
4. Attitude
Always develop a sense of Gratitude.
Appreciate life - check in with family and/or friends.
Eg. Play/improvise secret Santa with dessert - Good one @jason_cmh82 😝
.
5. Work / Life Balance
This is tricky for some who work from home but do able.
Lifestyle, not all work and no play, go around the above 1 - 4.
.
This list is non exhaustive - share in comments.
But first take care of yourself, then you can support others.
In a plane, always put your own oxygen mask on first before you help others.
Let me know how can I help.
.
Rest well for today, and Happy New Week ! #resilience Blessings, Grace

This is an illustration from my Pandemic book, and how I feel about 2020 + been burned out more over this last year and a half than not.
And had to let so much go because of it 😴 I've only had the capacity to do the things that are really important 😩
The realization that I haven't taken any time off since January 2020 led me to carve out two weeks in August to take off for myself 🔋🔋🔋hope you're taking care of your energy too 😴😁✨

An Excellent Spirit Brings Lasting Promotions
“It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom; And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage. Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.” (Daniel 6:1-4 KJV)
Many unbelievers in the world think that to get ahead in life, they have to lie, cheat and steal. They use underhand methods to get promotions, stepping on others to climb up higher.
However, in the powerful Medo-Persian kingdom, Daniel distinguished himself in the eyes of the king by displaying an excellent spirit.
Out of one hundred and twenty princes and three presidents, Daniel was preferred above them all—not by currying favor, but just by being an excellent in all he did.
He was faithful in all his duties, and did his work excellently.
Truly capable people don’t have to resort to dirty methods to get promoted.
If you use corrupt ways to prosper, your adversaries will be able to dig up dirt to testify against you.
But when you do everything honestly and do your work well, wanting to give your best, who can fault you? Having a clear conscience is sweet and peaceful.
“A good man shall obtain favor from Yahweh, but he will condemn a man of wicked devices. A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.” (Proverbs 12:2-3 WEB)
When you see others getting promoted through dirty ways, don’t let the temptation of the shortcut cause you to stray from having your heart in the right place.
When an excellent spirit is in you, you will obtain favor from the Lord for promotion. Do your work well as worship unto Him, not to please your boss.
“And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” (Colossians 3:23-24 WEB)
Because you are a “good man” in Christ, based on His finished work at the cross, God’s favor is yours.
Remember: favor, not labor!
Promotion through wicked ways is not a sure foundation. There are many cracks and one day it will all collapse, and the fall will be great.
Let your promotion come from relying on the grace (unmerited favor) of God. If it comes as a gift, you won’t have the stress of having to maintain it by your limited strength. God will supply the grace for you to thrive in the new role.
Pray with me: Dear Abba God, help me cultivate an excellent spirit like Daniel. I want to be promoted, but at Your timing and in Your chosen way. I want to rely on Your unmerited favor, not my stressful labor. Thank You for the abundance of grace that empowers me to work faithfully as worship unto You. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen!
When it is time for the Lord to reward you, what He will give you is far beyond anything we can enjoy in this time!! Learn how to maximize your eternal rewards, how to know and step into your God-given calling, and enjoy a worthy life: http://bit.ly/sandcastlesdontlastforever

how to do a cheat day 在 IVAN 艾文 Youtube 的最佳貼文
#GoodLife #IVAN #艾文
⚠️ 歌詞可開啟CC字幕
活出精彩 Have Good Life!
向那過往 Say Good Bye!
聽他開饒 是種生活依賴!
2020今夏最新單曲👉《 Good Life 》👈
和愛我的人跟我愛的人在一起,做大家喜歡的事情,那個當下就是Good Life!
年僅20歲的他,觀察著視角如實反映在創作,「現在到處都充滿爭執誤會,人人都開啟放大鏡模式。但每個人的心理總會對 Good Life 有所畫面」,依舊樂觀看待這個世界:「雖然2020到現在發生了許多無法接受的遺憾,但一切都會因改變而改變,一起為Good Life而努力。」
寫歌的情緒左右了歌的形狀,艾文坦言創作這首歌當下的心情其實是低落的,人與人的溝通沒想像中簡單,有些事情試著去溝通反而會讓自己擁有更多麻煩,他於是產生體悟「檢討自己發生的錯誤,讓自己變成更好的人。」
學會與自己的低潮黑夜作伴,艾文表示,對過往有些回憶還是存在腦中的,也因為往往我們低落時就會不由自主想起,所以對我來說這是幫助我往前變更好的動力,他透過這首歌鼓舞自己、也勉勵聽歌的樂迷:「為我想要過的生活而努力,雖然路上可能遇到很多困難,但保持初衷撐過去,更努力!希望我們都可以越來越好Have a Good Life。」

Do You Have Good Life
Tell Me How To Have A Good Time
回想曾經那些的 Good Life Good Life

Radio正播放我舊的歌的Beats
腦海浮現的卻不是熟悉的Melody
閉上雙眼在腦裡出現的Skyline
It Makes Me Feel My Life Is Good
My Family My Homies My Everything
都將成為故事寫在每段歌詞裡
每篇訊息 一字一句 不斷傳遞
Stay With You Whole Night
That’s What I Like 那時夢還在
但時間過得快 如今都已不在
硬要擠出微笑 面對各種試煉
But I Just Wanna Have A Good Day
只專注前方視線
What A Old Good Time We Had
But There’s No Turning Back
Let’s Keep Grinding Always
締造更多top 10

回想曾經那些的 Good Life Good Life
Have A Good Life Good Life
祈禱著幸運之神降臨 總在為了什麼事情低頭
或許沒有好的人際關係 鬆開你被綑綁住的手
你或許還在尋找自己 你找尋問題將被代替
或許總在半夜驚醒夢裡的不安你醒來還是猜不透
The World Is Changing 都在變
I’m Missing Good Old Days(And Saturday)
Our Life Don’t Last Forever For Real
Nothing Is Guaranteed Life Is A Crazy Ride
Make It A Little More Easy
