This comes from Spurgeon's Morning and Evening Devotional
Job 13:23
"Therefore, the believer, even when sin rolls like a black flood, and the remembrance of the past is bitter, can yet stand before the blazing throne of the great and holy God, and cry, "Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died; yea rather, that hath risen again." While the recollection of his sin fills him with shame and sorrow, he at the same time makes it a foil to show the brightness of mercy--guilt is the dark night in which the fair star of divine love shines with serene splendour."
It reminds me of something Luther said, Do not like Adam and Eve let your guilt, shame, and sin cause you to hide and run from our God, instead, let it press you tighter to His great grace.
