Your nature is a hard thing to change; it takes time…. I have heard of
people who have life-changing, miraculous turnarounds, people set free
from addiction after a single prayer, relationships saved where both
parties ‘let go, and let God.’ But it was not like that for me. For all
that ‘I was lost, I am found,’ it is probably more accurate to say, ‘I
was really lost. I’m a little less so at the moment.’ And then a little
less and a little less again. That to me is the spiritual life. The slow
reworking and rebooting the computer at regular intervals, reading the
small print of the service manual. It has slowly rebuilt me in a better
image. It has taken years, though, and it is not over yet (U2 and Neil
McCormick, U2 by U2 (New York: HarperCollins, 2006), 7).
