the more he desires to love Him, and the more miserable he is
at his lack of love to Him.
The more he hates sin, the more he desires to hate it.
The more he mourns for sin, the more he longs to mourn for it.
The more his heart is broken for sin, the more he prays that it
may be far more broken.
The more he hungers and thirsts after God, the more he faints
and fails in seeking after God.
Forgetting those things that are behind, he reaches forth to
those things that are before. He ever presses toward the far-off mark.
Jonathan Edwards
