There is no greater discovery of the depravation of our natures by sin and degeneracy of our wills from their original rectitude, than that – whereas we are so prone to the love of other things, and therein do seek for satisfaction unto our souls where it is not to be obtained – it is so hard and difficult to raise our hearts unto the love of God. Were it not for that depravation, he would always appear as the only suitable and satisfactory object of our love. – John Owen
Also our depravity is greatly demonstrated in our hatred of things. I get angry over some of the most ridiculous of things while I am apathetic toward sins in my life. Here are some things I foolishly often hate more than sin, thus they often become sin. Therefore I am going to try to hate the sins begotten by such foolishness more than the thing itself.
