“it is better to act and repent than not to act and regret.”
“Without repentance, there is no real progress or improvement in life. Pretending there is no sin does not lessen its burden and pain. Suffering for sin does not by itself change anything for the better. Only repentance leads to the sunlit uplands ofa better life.”
“He could not construct for the child's pleasure the world he'd lost without constructing the loss as well and he thought perhaps the child had known this better than he.”
“A sin is nothing more than regret. Not for doing it once, but doing it again when you know you’re going to regret it.”
“Better the discomfort that leads to repentance and restoration than temporal comfort and eternal damnation.”
