1 Samuel 12:23
A Christian mother said she wanted her son to go to a dancing school because he was so awkward; she wanted him to be more graceful. She wanted him to get grace in his heels, you see, instead of his heart. After six weeks he had made such poor progress she took him out in disgust and chided him. Said he:
“I’m sorry, mother, I’m so stupid about it, but I can’t seem to do any better. You see, it’s one of the things I can’t pray over.”
