Inspiration from a Classic

Think for Yourself

This simple quote by Steinbeck is a powerful reminder of how God made us and how following Him is the way.

And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about.

John Steinbeck, East of Eden

The above quote is pulled from a paragraph I found particularly intriguing, especially given today's current climate. I share the quote in its entirety in my video.

Ultimately, what it reminds me of is that we must think for yourselves. God made us as we are. If we don't turn our mind towards Him, we're lost.
