Last week when visiting with an old friend I confessed my tiredness and shame at struggling again and again with many of the same sin patterns I had when he and I were in close contact. I basically said, "Is this normal?" He said something much like this:
“Oh! sweet language of the precious blood of Jesus! If you have come to that blood once, you will come to it constantly… If thou hast ever come to the blood of sprinkling, you will feel your need of coming to it every day.” - Charles Spurgeon
