The first 3 verses of Genesis set the stage for a new beginning unlike the universe had ever experienced. They point to a God of relationship who created us on purpose, is with us no matter what darkness we find ourselves in, and provides light no matter the circumstances.

Genesis 1

Part of Jesus centered discernment is making the commendable choice that will lead to building others up through what is good rather than tearing others down.

Changing the way you think changes your life. When we notice and enjoy the lovely things around us, we can better discern God's next step for us.

In humility we invite the Holy Spirit to give us pure motives so that we might experience a whole and untainted life and share that life with others.
