A.W. Tozer
“If God has singled you out to be a special object of His grace you may expect Him to honor you with stricter discipline and greater suffering than less favored ones are called upon to endure.
If God sets out to make you an unusual Christian, He is not likely to be as gentle as He is usually pictured by the popular teachers. A sculptor does not use a manicure set to reduce the rude, unshapely marble to a thing of beauty. The saw, the hammer and the chisel are cruel tools, but without them the rough stone must remain forever formless and un-beautiful. To do His supreme work of grace within you He will take from your heart everything you love most.
Everything you trust in will go from you. Piles of ashes will lie where your most precious treasures used to be.”
