Repentance is not self-regarding, but God-regarding. It is not self-loathing, but God-loving.
Fulton J. Sheen
And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Acts 13:52

A cold, self-righteous prig who goes regularly to Church, may be far nearer to hell than a prostitute. But, of course, it is better to be neither.

But how shall we rest in God? By giving ourselves wholly to Him. If you give yourself by halves, you cannot find full rest—there will ever be a lurking disquiet in that half which is withheld…All peace and happiness in this world depend upon unreserved self-oblation to God. If this be hearty and entire, the result will be an unfailing, ever-increasing happiness, which nothing can disturb. There is no real happiness in this life save that which is the result of a peaceful heart.
Jean Nicolas Grou
But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:4-7
The English Standard Version
No roadway of life is too dark to travel if the star of faith lights the way.
