If this doesn’t break your heart or soften it up then I think your heart is hard in at least one area and maybe you could think about that….

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

"I kneel down and sip water from the pool. I raise my head and look through the clearing of
the trees. I see the sun shining in the sky – a spinning ball of fire…This same sun – the same
burning orb of flame that shone over my youth – over…swimming pools and lego and kraft
dinners and malls and suburbia and TV and books about Andy Warhol… I remove my blanket
and fold it on the warm rocks beside the water. I then remove my shoes and socks and
stick my feet into the water, and oh, it is cold… And the water from the stream above me roars.
Oh does it roar! Like a voice that knows only one message, one truth – never-ending, like the
clapping of hands and the cheers of the citizens upon the coronation of the king, the crowds
of the inauguration, cheering for hope and for that one voice that will speak to them. Now
here is my secret: I tell it to you with an openness of heart that I doubt I shall ever achieve
again, so I pray that you are in a quiet room as you hear these words. My secret is that I
need God – that I am sick and can no longer make it alone. I need God to help me give,
because I no longer seem capable to giving; to help me be kind, as I no longer seem
capable of kindness; to help me love, as I seem beyond being able to love. I walk deeper
and deeper into the rushing water…the water enters my belly button and it freezes my
chest, my arms, my neck. It reaches my mouth, my nose, my ears and the roar is so
loud – this roar, this clapping hands. These hands – the hands that heal; the hands that
hold, the hands we desire because they are better than desire. I submerge myself in
the pool completely. I grab my knees and I forget gravity and I float within the pool and
yet, even here, I hear the roar of water, the roar of clapping hands. These hands, the
hands that care, the hands that mould; the hands that touch the lips, the lips that speak
the words – the words that tell us we are whole.” ["-

If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. —1 John 1:6-7
