Appreciation Quote by David Suchet
“I can't try to convert anybody. It's not in me to do that. But my faith has given me such an appreciation of people and meaningful relationships, and a world view which I didn't have before. And although I will fail every day, it gives me something to aspire to.”

![“Once the process [of conversion] is begun and continues...you are continually turning inward toward God and away from your own egocentricity...you have to see this selfish side of yourself in order to turn away from it. I measure God by everything I am not. I begin with that.” quote by Flannery O'Connor](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ee1/flannery-o-connor-639_communication_once-the-process-of-conversion-is-begun_2834541.jpg)
