Refresh Your Next Step

Our lives are filled with choices, big and small, and each step we take shapes who we are becoming. Beginning a new year reminds us not just of milestones but of the shared journey we are all on, navigating uncertainty and change. In those moments when the path ahead feels overwhelming, we can refresh our focus by asking a simple question: what is the next right thing in love? Jesus modeled this wisdom in Scripture, guiding people to take small, loving steps forward rather than trying to leap ahead.

Doing the next right thing means loving God, our neighbors, and ourselves through acts of justice, kindness, and care. It’s less about grand plans and more about showing up with courage and grace for the moment we’re in. Whether it’s a meal, a phone call, or a hard decision, each step reveals more about who we are, what we value, and how we contribute to the flourishing of others. Together, we can trust that God walks with us, delighting in our steps, catching us when we stumble, and shaping our journey for good. So, we keep going—one faithful, loving choice at a time—knowing that even small steps lead to great transformation. Let’s continue this journey together, refreshed and guided by love.
