You can find more peace, joy, and purpose in your life as you travel along a personal journey of spiritual growth. There’s more good news in that you can start from wherever you are right now, and you can move forward one step at a time.
How do I know? Because I’ve been on that journey myself.
For a long time, spirituality did not play a role in my life. I rarely thought about God, partly because I didn’t understand him, but mostly because I was focused mostly on myself. Even if there was a God, I doubted he cared much about me.
I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
But, over time, God met me where I was and showed me how to find meaning and purpose in my life. I learned how significance comes from focusing on things that are bigger than me. That led me to a deep search for the truth about life.
And that changed everything.
