Our sins have become a source of humility for us.

The Lord wanted, in His forbearance, to turn our sins against themselves; He found a way to turn them to our benefit, to transform them in our hands into a tool of salvation. However, this should not diminish either our loathing of sin or our pain from having sinned. Nevertheless, it stands true that our sins have become a source of humility for us.

(Jan van Ruusbroec, 1293–1381, text quoted by Elizabeth of the Trinity)
