We
should
not
seek
to
do
anything
for
ourselves
when
God
acts
more
excellently
in
us
and
for
us.
It
is
hating
sin
as
God
hates
it
to
hate
it
in
this
way.
This
love,
which
is
the
operation
of
God
in
the
soul,
is
the
purest
of
all
love.
All
we
have
to
do
then
is
to
remain
as
we
are.
Another
remarkable
thing
is,
that
we
often
forget
our
faults,
and
find
it
difficult
to
remember
them
;
but
this
must
not
trouble
us,
for
two
reasons
:
The
first,
that
this
very
forgetfulness
is
a
proof
that
the
sin
has
been
atoned
for,
and
it
is
better
to
forget
all
that
concerns
ourselves,
that
we
may
remember
God
alone.
The
second
reason
is,
that
God
does
not
fail,
whenever
confession
is
needful,
to
show
to
the
soul
its
greatest
faults,
for
then
•
it
is
E[e
Himself
who
examines
it.
