Hope the conviction hit gently, my friend. God wants to change us little by little as we surrender all to Him. I'm grateful to be a 'work in progress' even if overnight transformation might seem preferable!

Your posts are always such a blessing though focusing on God's eternal goodness, however tough today is for you.
