Start Yourself

EVERY man knows better than he does. Most of us think better than we act. We are well aware of the evil of our action, but we are not able to compel our will to work with our judgment. We lack spiritual coordination. You probably know of something at this moment which you ought to do, but you are not able to summon yourself to begin. It was a great moment in the life of the Prodigal Son when he said, "I will arise." Up to that time he may have been waiting for someone to start him off toward home. We never arrive until after we start.
