• But there is no use in trying to engraft an opposite nature on one’s own. What I am, that I must be, except as God changes me into His own image.

This must be His work, and I wonder that it goes on so slowly, that all the disappointments, sorrows, sicknesses I have passed through have left me still selfish, still full of imperfections!
