O Lord, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great. Psalms 25:11. Divine answer. Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Romans 5:20. For God will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55:7.
It is all one with God to forgive a repenting sinner his trespasses, whether great or small, many or few; for they are all paid with one ransom. No sin, properly speaking, is little in itself; and none greater than the grace of God, and the infinite price laid down for it. Whatever sins therefore a man feels, yet he may throw himself upon the abounding grace of God. But this grace must always be our comfort, to depend upon it alone, even when it is best for us; for then only it is best with us when we depend alone on grace, and live in it as in our element.
Why does your face, ye humble souls,
Those mournful colors wear?
What doubts are these that waste your faith,
And nourish your despair?
What though your numerous sins exceed
The stars that fill the skies,
And aiming at the eternal throne,
Like pointed mountains rise?
See here an endless ocean flows
Of never-failing grace:
Behold a dying Saviour’s veins
The sacred flood increase.
It raises high and drowns the hills,
Has neither shore nor bound:
Now if we search to find our sins,
Our sins can never be found.
