Quote by Denise M. Jones

“It’s more than just an antidote. It’s not even intended to be a confirmation. We all, at some point in our lives, look for the answers to things in the wrong place but more than that sometimes it takes an outside perspective to steer where we’re looking.”

“Much of the stress in our lives comes as a result of our insistence on maintaining the illusion of control. We so desperately want to be strong enough to handle the trials and tribulations of life that we literally drive ourselves into the ground rather than admit our desperate need. Often God allows us to reach the breaking point for our own good. Only in those moments of rare clarity that come from bottoming out will we allow ourselves to admit how little control we actually have. In those moments, the only thing we can do is throw ourselves headlong into the grace of God. In these moments, the pain and suffering actually drive us to him.”

“It's easy for a preacher to say 'Let Go'. Imagine a king who wants to let go of his power because it's giving him nothing but stress and anxiety. If he lets go of it, his enemies will kill him. He has to first let go of his own body-mind. Then right circumstances will form and his body-mind will be able let go of power safely. You have to let go of things spiritually before you can let go of them physically.”
