“The cross of Jesus displays the most awful exhibition of God’s hatred of sin and at the same time the most august manifestation of His readiness to pardon it. Pardon, full and free, is written out in every drop of blood that is seen, is proclaimed in every groan that is heard, and shines in the very prodigy of mercy that closes the solemn scene upon the cross. O blessed door of return, open and never shut, to the wanderer from God! How glorious, how free, how accessible! Here the sinful, the vile, the guilty, the unworthy, the poor, the penniless, may come. Here too the weary spirit may bring its burden, the broken spirit its sorrow, the guilty spirit its sin, the backsliding spirit its wandering. All are welcome here.”
~ Octavius Winslow
Prayer Life Pause: Dear Lord, thank You for welcoming me into Your presence. I bring all my burdens, sorrows and guilt and lay them at Your feet of forgiveness. How glorious You are! In Jesus’ name, amen.
A Prayer Life 
A Thought came to me years ago while praying “Our estimation of sin reveals our estimation of God” If I treat sin lightly I will also treat His salvation lightly.
Always appreciate your posts!

Yes, indeed! I like to say a proper view of God and His holiness will drive us to a proper view of ourselves and our sin.
Always appreciate your thoughts, brother.
