‘We may seek God even when we have sinned.  If sin could blockade the mercy seat it would be all over with us, but the mercy is that there are gifts even for the rebellious  and an advocate for men who sin.  ‘And delivered me from all my fears.’  God makes a perfect work of it.  He clears away both our fears and their causes, all of them without exception.'”Charles H. Spurgeon  (1834-1898)
