“Don’t hesitate to begin because it seems to you that you have a long way to go. It is better to spend your life moving in the right direction one step at a time than to have no direction at all. No matter what your problems may be, things can get better with God’s help.”

Our past may explain why we’re suffering, but we must not use it as an excuse to stay in bondage.”
