It is not us who must heal ourselves to be love by God, but he who loves us so that he can heal our inperfections and cover our wounds. -Sayre You have hit the issue right at it’s heart Tim.

It keeps us from doing them again. Because it's the memory of how hard the process of repenting for those especially bad sins was that keeps me from ever wanting to do them again. Granted I don't think it's healthy to continually think about it and beat ourselves up over and over again. But I think there needs to be a balance. And it's the remembrance of the way I felt AFTER fully repenting of those exact same sins that reminds me that God loves me and thinks I'm pretty awesome. It's what helps keep the balance for me at least. Does that make sense? I think it’s good to occasionally remember our sins. It keeps us from doing them again.
