An obsession merely with doing all God commands may be the very thing that rules out being the kind of person that he calls us to be.

Dallas Willard in Hearing God

It’s not always the big things
the massive changes
the complete 180s
Sometimes, it’s the small decisions
that steer the ship of your life
in a new direction

A little less television
A little less time on that app
A few more minutes in prayer
An extra moment with a friend

It’s not always the big things
but it’s the small steps that lead
to the big life change

Less time on the app
becomes deleting the app altogether
Less time on the streaming services
becomes never turning them on
or canceling them altogether
Less time alone and focused only on myself
becomes more community
and encouragement in following Jesus

It’s not always the big things
but wow the difference the small steps can make
