We know ourselves to be always unworthy, and it is no mere negative boast, but the truth about us, making it doubly more shameful. Yet the deeper we fall in whatever way, we keep finding the Lord already there, waiting for us. He has become sin for us, He has become our unworthiness, He has exchanged His righteousness for our filthy rags, and yet we do not know how it is we can wear them, wear Him, be clothed in His very flesh.We only know that He has opened wide His wounds to let us inside, and there, if nowhere else, we are safe.

there are no depths to which the Truth about ourselves can take us where Christ Jesus is not below us to hold us and lift us up as a result of arriving at that new depth of truth.
