No matter how much you struggle with where you are presently, it is your starting place to get to where you need to be. Don’t magnify your misery. To focus on it is to celebrate it, and that leaves you stuck. Lift up the eyes of your heart. Catch a glimpse of your Father. Arise, start walking toward Him. He is not focused on where you have been, or even your failures. He is focused on forming you in beautiful new ways.
The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.” Genesis 12:1 (NIV)
