Comforting A Person

When a person expresses himself and articulates his pain before Hashem in hisbodedus, and he confesses and feels contrition over the enormous blemishes and damage he has done by his sins, at that time the Divine Presence also expresses Its pain in front of him, since with every blemish that a person causes to his soul, he also causes a blemish, so to speak, to the Divine Presence. Then the Divine Presence comforts the person saying that It will look for ways to rectify all of the blemishes.

(Rebbe Nachman of Breslov)
