Following Jesus is a life-long commitment and a daily decision. When we commit to following Jesus, we are committing to the journey of a lifetime. There will be ups and downs, adventure and hardships, good days and bad. But the journey is so worth it! The joy, peace and hope that come from living a life in following Jesus make all the difference.
This journey is a life-long commitment but we have to choose each day to actually take steps toward becoming more like Jesus. It is one thing to say we follow Jesus – it is quite another to actually do it – each day!
So today, decide that you are going to make a little progress on this journey. We don’t become like Jesus in a day – it is an adventurous journey of taking steps and creating moments in the course of a day that move us a little farther down the path.
Be intentional today.
Be the light of Jesus’ love to someone.

That’s the challenge—choosing EACH day. We get tired or lazy or too busy and distracted and before long we are off the path towards our original desired goal to follow Him. Thanks for the reminder!
