The old Puritans used to pray for the gift of tears. A man has the power to harden himself against one of Gods greatest gifts. If in order to dissolve a piece of ice, you take a hammer and smash it up, you simply break it into so many pieces of ice; but put the ice out in the sunshine and it quickly disappears. That is just the difference between mans handling of wrong and Gods. Mans handling may cause it to crumble, but it is only so much crumbled-up wrong; when God handles it, it becomes repentance, and the man turns to God and his life becomes a sacrament of experimental repentance. --Oswald Chambers, in Baffled to Fight Better from The Quotable Oswald Chambers.
