I seem to have some feeling about Divine things;
but alas! this afternoon am as stupid as usual.
Nothing, nothing will break this hard heart! Oh,
that I may be directed by the Spirit of truth to
the right way of happiness!
I fear that I am not affected as I ought and have
only a faint desire to become a Christian and that
merely to escape hell.
Lord, have mercy upon me!
Lead a right! Break this hard, hard heart! You, Lord,
know what I would have even the forgiveness
of my sins.
During service I was as cold as a stone! Oh, when
will this vile heart be melted and subdued by divine
grace? I have no faith, no humility, no sense of sin, no
confidence in the promises, no fear of the threatened
punishments; nor anything that I ought to have!
Oh, what a picture!
O Lord, break this heart into ten thousand pieces!
Oh! I would sooner suffer all horrors and terrors imaginable and be saved at last than be in my
present dreadful and stupid state. Break, break,
oh, break my heart, and make me give it entirely
to You, O blessed Savior!
[Ruth Byron, age 17)
Ezekiel 36:26 ... A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
