"If a man sets out on a journey to search for the tip of his own nose, his first step betrays his total blindness as to what he seeks. God is everywhere and is therefore never in a particular place that is other than where we happen to be at each moment. Therefore we do not need to leave the point where we are and seek God’s presence somewhere else." ~ James Finley
I enjoy collecting quotations that inspire thought and provide motivation for eternal change.

Start...
No matter what the ruin of any life may be there is always a place to start. There is a place where you must begin. You need to apologize to someone. You need to go to somebody and straighten something out. You need to stop some practice that is wrong. You need to open yourself up to counsel. You need to seek advice. You need to get some guidance. There is always a first step. That is where you must begin.
And whatever you pray, pray that God will give you the grace, the strength and the determination to take that step. Then, the process of recovery has begun.
~ Ray C. Stedman
