But the reality is that following Jesus isn’t about huge leaps, but by walking with Him daily—a walk that involves steps, not leaps. Getting closer to our desired destination is about small steps we make every day—steps of obedience, steps in relationship with Him. Getting closer to Jesus isn’t about huge leaps… but small, consistent steps.
