As Mark’s Gospel opens with the call to prepare the way for Jesus, we’re reminded that true change begins not with us — but with Him.

“The greatest need in the world today is the transformation of human nature. Jesus Christ is the only One who can transform, because He is the Son of God.” — Billy Graham

As we begin a new year, there’s no better place to start than with God’s Word — steady, unchanging, and full of light for the road ahead.

“A good way to begin the year is to open your Bible and close it only when you’ve found light for the day.”
— D. L. Moody

Sometimes life takes unexpected turns — things change, plans shift, and we’re left wondering what’s next. But the good news is this: God is always at work, even in the in-between. As Billy Graham once emphasised:

“God never takes away something from your life without replacing it with something better.”
— Billy Graham
He restores, He renews, and He leads us forward — just as Jesus did with Peter that morning by the fire.
