Holy affections do not have heat without light.
Spiritual emotions result in Christian practice because their object is the loveliness of spiritual things, not our self-interest. People have a defective Christianity because they are seeking their own interests in it, not God’s. So they accept Christianity only to the extent that they think it serves their interests. By contrast, a person who accepts it for its own excellent and lovely nature, accepts everything which has that nature. Jonathan Edwards

If you have been tempted into evil, fly from it. It is not falling into the water, but lying in it, that drowns. -- Author Unknown

For you to continually remind yourself of your past errors and sins is to deny the efficacy of His forgiveness and the value of His Word.
