I mean not perfectly all; for as David saith: Who knoweth all his trespasses? As who should say, no man. And thou shalt cast out of thy heart all such sins, and sweep thy soul clean with the besom of the fear of God, and wash it with thy tears, and so shalt thou find thy groat, Jesus; He is thy groat, thy penny, thy heritage. (John Climacus)

It is my impression - and slight experience - that it is less a matter of me casting out, than allowing Jesus to enter in.

The doubt, pride, and emptiness that is the source of sin is replaced by the fullness of love and joy in Jesus.

The sinful clutter is swept aside to reveal the beauty and strength God intended.
