Greetings from 2025! I wanted to share a quote I found useful as we enter this new year:
“As you begin new resolutions, remember: Spiritual disciplines are not about making you more precious to God. They’re about making God more precious to you.”
—Matt Smethurst
May Jesus become more precious to us in 2025.
Happy New Year,
Blake
