Not my identity

Not growing more sinful

I expect that as I move along, I should have less and less experience of sin in my life. There should be a growing victory in my life; a victory of growing increasingly into Christ-likeness! I should be seeing less and less sin in my life . . . Yet, paradoxically, at the same time, Godwants me seeing more! Godwants me to see thedepthdepth of the sinin my heart.
