"Lord, before I commit a sin, it seams to me so shallow that I may wade through it dry-shod from any guiltiness; but when I have committed it, it often seams so deep that I cannot escape without drowning. Thus I am always in extremities: either my sins are so small that they need not any repentance, or so great that they cannot obtain any pardon. Lend me, O Lord, a reed, out of Thy sanctuary, truly to measure the dimension of my offenses. But O, as thou revealest to me more of my misery, reveal also more of Thy mercy..."(Source: Spurgeon's Sermon Notes)
