Look not at your sin, but to Christ

"Keep not guilt in the conscience, but apply the blood of Christ immediately.

Remember your sins, Christ’s pardoning

Your deserving, Christ’s merits

Your weakness, Christ’s strength

Your pride, Christ’s humility

Your many infirmities, Christ’s restoring

Your guilts, Christ’s new applications of His blood

Your failings, Christ’s raising up

Your needs, Christ’s fullness

Your temptations, Christ’s tenderness

Your vileness, Christ’s righteousness

Blessed soul! whom Christ shall find not having on his own righteousness (Phil 3:9), but having his robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb (Rev 7:14)."
