Character Defects
At the very least, we shall have to come to grips with some of
our worst character defects and take action toward their removal
as quickly as we can. The moment we say, “No, never!” our minds
close against the grace of God. Delay is dangerous, and rebellion
may be fatal. This is the exact point at which we abandon limited
objectives, and move toward God's will for us.
