John Newton: Mourning, Rejoicing

Newton says we should be "sorrowful yet always rejoicing" when contemplating God's work in our lives, for we have so much evil remaining in us, and and endless supply of grace in him. 

"We have reason to mourn that there is such an opposition within us to all that is good; and we have reason to rejoice, for Jesus is all-sufficient, and we are complete in him."
