Small steps over time can create tremendous change.

Three questions:
What should we stop doing?
What should we start doing?
What should we keep doing?

God does not deal with sin by ridding our lives of it as if it were a germ, or mice in the attic. God does not deal with sin by amputation as if it were a gangrenous leg, leaving us crippled, holiness in a crutch. God deals with sin by forgiving us, and when he forgives us there is more of us, not less.
Eugene Peterson

Pay attention for the small, simple, and subtle ways that we live less than we are called to.

Every sin confessed is an invitation for God to work miracles through his grace.
Signature Sins: Taming Our Wayward Hearts Michael Mangis

If I truly grasped this truth, I would stop obsessively working to round up all my sin marbles and keep them under control. Instead, I would go out in search of marbles that are lost or forgotten in the corners of my heart. I might actually become bored with the areas of my life that are tidy and presentable. I would search out new places in me that haven't seen the full life of God’s transformation. I might even think, It has been a while since God performed a miracle in me. Let me find a forgotten pocket of sin somewhere so I can set God’s power free to turn water into wine and blindness into sight.
