From Valley of Vision - Mortification
...I take shame to myself for all the sins of my holy things..

That phrase reminded me of the difference between the religous / moral person and the true Christian. The religious/moralist takes shame for his "bad things", but takes pride in his holy things.
A Christian is one who see the sin of even his/her holy things - our obedience and good deeds done for the wrong reason. As Whitfield said, "the Christian is one who repents of his righteousness, not just his sin."
