Grappling With Divinity

“The soul, when it shall have driven away from itself all that is contrary to the divine will, becomes transformed in God by love.”

~St. John of the Cross

What within me still resists surrender to God’s will, and how might love help to transform that resistance into openness?

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
— Romans 12:2 (ESV)
