"Wonderful Jesus, I have nothing. I have nothing to give you but my love. That's all that I can give you. And, I love you with all my heart. And, I give you my body as a living sacrifice.

He just needs yielded vessels." —Kathryn Kuhlman

In the meantime, the following are some practical steps to navigating through the deep waters of your soul.
