We spend a lot of life looking backward or looking ahead. Thinking about what was. Planning for what might be. Worrying about what could happen next.

Meanwhile, the life we’re longing for is happening right now.

Jesus consistently pulled people back to today—to the people in front of them, the opportunities around them, and the God who is present with them.

Because the past and future only matter in how they shape the present.

The good old days aren’t behind you. They might be happening right now.
