"Our sense of sin is in proportion to our nearness to God."

ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!
We tend to judge ourselves against what others are doing. When in reality, our sin is against a Holy God. One that is pure in every way. When the reality of that sets in daily, we are forced into humility even if/when we're fighting Him. What a grateful, undeserving people we are:) Thanks for sharing!!

And when we are far away from the Lord, our sins don't seem to be that big of a deal. But when we are close to Him in all of His perfection, every single sin we have seems to be magnified. I just want to be clean and pure in front of Him, ya know?!!!
