The Shaping of a Soul

This will be used to shape and sharpen myself. It is amazing how life changes me. What is most amazing is how Grace changes me. It changes and formes continually, always. However, does God change me and shape me when I refuse. Will he drag me kicking and screaming. Does he carry me to Grace and Mercy even when I am throwing a tantrum and refuse his Forgiveness and Love. Or....does he stand by patiently until my yells and tears subside. Does he then gently remind me that he still loves me and is still willing to claim me as his child. Still willing to say to the world and his Father this one is mine. Despite the shame I have brought on my self and witness I have tainted.
