When God goes through our souls, we change in form. We are like onions. God is peeling away the dead brown outside leaves. He wants to get to the center (core) of our lives. Layer by layer, we peel away an onion. Layer by layer, God peels away the dead part of our lives. It changes our form, our souls. We use a sharp knife on the onion. God's word is His knife (sword).
"For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit between joint and marrow (hard and soft part of bones). It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires." Hebrews 4:12 (NLT)
When we do that with an onion, sometimes, we have tears and cry as parts pull away. God's work in our lives is very slow and careful and sometimes we have tears. It takes a loving, all wise God to know just how much of our old sin nature He can cut away with His knife
Are you allowing God to go through your soul and peel away the parts of your life that do not follow His image? Are you being "transformed?"
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 (ESV)
