[The demon Screwtape writes:] Even of his sins the Enemy does not want him to think too much: once they are repented, the sooner the man turns his attention outward, the better the Enemy is pleased.

It is really rather simple, but also very hard. God desires that we admit and turn away from sin while asking forgiveness. It is also God’s desire that we not dwell on our sin, but when repented, that we learn from it and then forgive ourselves.
There are no shortcuts and we must take each step. Then, we can live in our Eden with joy and gladness, which is our Father’s great pleasure.
Turning away,
