The Only Way Out of the Hellhole

We think we must climb to a certain height of goodness before we can reach God.  But He says not “At the end of the way you may find me”; He says “I am the Way; I am the road under your feet, the road that begins just as low down as you happen to be.”  If we are in a hole the Way begins in the hole.  The moment we set our face in the same direction as His, we are walking with God.

Helen Wodehouse, The Choice is Always Ours 

Sometimes He finds us in a hole, of our own making, that can only be described as a hellhole.  From there comes a life of grateful thanksgiving, as every act from then on is only an opportunity to say “Thank You for saving me from me!”
