“One day at a time.” What a powerful expression! I repeat it often, especially in those moments when life seems overwhelming. This simple phrase has become a guiding light in my walk with Jesus, reminding me to embrace the present and find the beauty in the everyday.

Have you ever stopped to think about why God divided our lives into days? It’s almost as if He knows we need manageable portions of life to focus on, to truly savor each moment. When we train ourselves to be present, we begin to see life as a series of precious opportunities, each day a blank page waiting to be filled with our unique stories.

Through this series of writings, I hope to share some of my own experiences and encourage you to do the same. Let’s face it: the past can be a heavy burden. But what if we could learn to leave it where it belongs? To learn from our mistakes, forgive, and let go? Easier said than done, I know! But imagine how liberating it would be to let go of those chains and move forward with a heart full of gratitude.

And what about those good times? They can be just as binding if we hold on to them too tightly. Remember them fondly, but also let them go with equal gratitude, making room for the new blessings God has in store. Isn’t it comforting to think that tomorrow will be better?

Looking ahead, let’s fill our hearts with hope and trust in God’s plans. But perhaps most importantly, let’s focus on the present. What joy can you find in this very moment? What personal growth can you achieve? Allow yourself to feel deeply, whether it be joy or sadness, knowing that every emotion is part of your journey. And above all, never forget to give thanks for what today brings.

Yesterday is behind us, and tomorrow remains a mystery. But today? Today is ours to live. So let’s live it fully, one day at a time, together.
