Almost Saved

"For we are to God the fragrance of Christ, among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing" (II Corinthians 2:15).

Some days I hate computers! They lure me into tediously and thoughtfully entering all my creativity, and then with one missed keystroke, I can erase it ALL!

What happened? I FORGOT TO SAVE MY WORK!

What's the solution, you ask? I must continually SAVE my work every so often, thus limiting my exposure and loss potential.

There are many people in our lives who are IN THE PROCESS OF BEING SAVED. God is often dealing with them. You and I are regularly loving them.

And before long, they WILL be saved!

My attitude and approach can either ERASE much of what others have sowed into their lives, or it can BUILD on what others have sown. I wonder whom God will bring into our path today who is in the process of being saved. You and I can help them get ONE STEP CLOSER to their decision to surrender to God.

Success is not winning someone to Christ, but bringing them one step closer!

Living intentionally for souls,
