The ache you have been medicating with everything except God is not a wound. It is a witness. It has been telling the truth about you since before you had words for it.

The same hardness of heart that once resisted God can, through Jesus, become the very strength that resists sin. Grace doesn’t erase your temperament—it redeems it. The will that once said “no” to God becomes the fortress that says “no” to evil.
