Quotes about Softening

I will give them one heart [a new heart] and I will put a new spirit within them; and I will take the stony [unnaturally hardened] heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh [sensitive and responsive to the touch of their God]… EZEKIEL 11:19

The only way to soften a hard heart. You can best counter the heart-hardening effect of sin by breaking it with God's hammer—His Word. "'Is not my word like fire,' declares the Lord, 'and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?'" (Jeremiah 23:29).

Every man who will not have softening of the heart must at last have softening of the brain.
