2 Chronicles 30:8 (NIV)
Do not be stiff-necked, as your ancestors were;
submit to the LORD.
Ezekiel 36:26
I will remove from you your heart of stone
and give you a heart of flesh.
Lord, teach me to bow my head in obedience and open my heart in humility.
I have to be stiff-necked and stone-hearted with myself; pitiless and ruthless in driving myself on, for such is survival.
There will undoubtedly be a price to pay.
Can you add a pinch of compassion and a sprinkle of grace?
Awesome. Thank you!
I’m glad it spoke to your (gentle and compassionate) heart, Elizabeth.
