Day 327: Repentance Is Good -- Overrepentance Is Not
Okay so, hi, I'm the kind of person who feels really bad when she's messed up. Like, really bad. I focus on it too, which makes it worse. It might be because I tend to be anxious, it could just be my personality. I don't know, I just think about it a lot and want to do everything I can to fix it...even when I know I can't.
Okay, so here's the thing: we should repent. And then we should move on and do acts of goodness.
"The goal of repentance is to cleanse the soul; once this is achieved, one should not continue to focus on those acts that sullied it" (449).
