God's forgiveness is only natural in the supernatural domain.
Compared with the miracle of the forgiveness of sin, the experience of sanctification is slight.
When once you realize all that it cost God to forgive you, you will be held as in a vice, constrained by the love of God.

the idea of "constrained by the love of God" is oddly comforting. maybe not oddly, just .. unexpected. it feels more like a swaddle than a straight jacket. hemmed in by love.
