CONTINUAL REPENTANCE - from The Valley of Vision

O God of grace, You have imputed my sin to my substitute,
and have imputed his righteousness to my soul,
clothing me with a bridgegroom's robe,
decking me with jewels of holiness.
But in my Christian walk I am still in rags;
my best prayers are stained with sin;
my penitential tears are so much impurity;
my confessions of wrong are so many aggravations of sin;
my receiving the Spirit is tinctured with selfishness.
I need to repent of my repentance;
I need my tears to be washed;
I have no robe to bring to cover my sins,
no loom to weave my own righteousness;
I am always standing clothed in filthy garments,
and by grace am always receiving change of raiment,
for you always justify the ungodly;
I am always going into the far country,
and always returning home as a prodigal,
always saying, 'Father, forgive me,'
and you are always bringing forth the best robe.
Every morning let me wear it,
every evening return in it,
be married in it,
be wound to death in it,
stand before the great white throne in it,
enter heaven in it, shining as the sun.
Grant me never to lose sight of
the exceeding sinfulness of sin,
the exceeding glory of Christ,
the exceeding beauty of holiness,
the exceeding wonder of grace.

From Valley of Vison: Humiliation
"Let me never forget that the heinousness of sin lies not so much in the nature of the sin committed, as in the greatness of the Person sinned against. "

This is so because all sin has its roots in the combination of pride/fear/unbelief, so in their nature they are the same. In that sense no sin is greater than another, but they are all equally great in that they are sins against a holy, gracious, infinite God.
