Joy mixed with Sorrow

Burrough's makes an excellent point on page 248 concerning sorrow or joy over sin. It is very hard for me to come with both  emotions to Gods' throne. In many cases, my sin is overwhelming but I will overlook Gods' forgiveness. In other cases I overlook my sin very much ready for forgiveness but demonstrate true repentance. I feel like I often need reminders such as this to keep me on the right track!
