Close But No Cigar 4

Aug 24, 2025    Rob Paterson

We tend to think that merely showing up makes all the difference. That is more than most people ever do. When life gets difficult, we all want to pull the ripcord, and get out of that as soon as humanly possible. But what if God placed us in that challenging spot on purpose? To teach us something or to accomplish a greater purpose. The goal is never to simply show up but to yield to whatever God wants. Anything less is close but no cigar!
