Something shared to me by a school friend Elsie Felland. You may seen this before:

Come Before Winter

By Charles R Swindoll
Tyndale House, 1985
Page 500 – Stop the Revolving Door
 
From bondage to spiritual faith

From spiritual faith to great courage

From great courage to strength

From strength to liberty

From liberty to abundance

From abundance to leisure

From leisure to selfishness

From selfishness to complacency

From complacency to apathy

From apathy to dependency

From dependency to weakness

From weakness back to bondage
