"Now, people say when they commit sin, that they do not intend to
do so always; they intend to turn away from sin. That is just as
though a man were to kill himself and suppose that he could make
himself alive again by his own strength. That is, however,
impossible; but to turn from sin by one's own power and come to
God is still much more impossible. Therefore, whosoever is to turn
from sin and come to God in His heavenly kingdom, must be drawn by
the heavenly Father with the might of His divine power."

        --Meister Eckhart

I was just having trouble with the idea that the individual does
the inviting.
