I have been waiting for a long time to start a thread here but after seeing some familiar names here like Bardichev and Obormottel aand others I will also share the beautifull divrei torah I come across.

here's a part of Tomer Devorah

VII He Will Again Have Compassion Upon Us
The Holy One, Blessed is He, does not behave as a human being behaves.
When a man has been provoked by a friend, he cannot bring himself to love
as formerly the one who offended him, even when he has been appeased.
But in the sight of The Holy One Blessed is He, the repentant sinner has a
higher status than the man who has never sinned. This is the meaning of the
Rabbinic teaching (Berachot 34b) that in the place where the penitent stands
the perfectly righteous cannot stand. The reason for this has been
expounded by the Rabbis in the chapter ‘He Who Builds’ (Menachot 29b)
where it is stated that the letter “He” is shaped like an exedra so that
whomsoever wishes to go astray may do so. That is to say, the world was
created by means of the letter “He” and the Holy One, Blessed is He, created
the world wide open in the direction of sin and evil. As the exedra, the world
is not fully enclosed but is broken open towards the direction of evil.
Consequently, he who wishes to go astray need not turn in those directions
where there is no sin and iniquity by which to enter in the province of the
Outside Ones. But the “He” is open at the top left-hand corner so that if the
sinner repents he can be received back there. Upon which the Talmud asks:
‘And why should he not re-enter by the same way as he went out?’ and the
reply is given: ‘This will have no effect,’ meaning that the repentant sinner
cannot be content to be fenced around from sinning as are the perfectly
righteous. For a slight fence is sufficient to act as a barrier against sin for
those who have not sinned. But such a barrier will not suffice for the
penitent. He requires new and difficult fences. For the slight fence has been
broken through and if he tries to draw near in that direction his evil
inclination will find it easy to tempt him. He needs to be very far removed
from sin. Consequently, he cannot enter at the opening of the exedra where it
is breached. He must ascend to enter through the narrow opening,
tormenting and mortifying himself until the breaches have been healed. This
is why the righteous cannot stand in the place of the penitents. For the latter
have not entered by the door of the righteous, but they have tormented
themselves, ascending through the upper door. They have far deeper
mortified and separated themselves from sin than have the righteous. They
have therefore ascended until they stand in the spiritual degree of “He”,
namely, the fifth palace of the Garden of Eden which is the roof of the “He”,
while the righteous have ‘entered at the opening of the He at the entrance to
the exedra.
Consequently, when man repents and this means that he restores the He to
its proper place (TESHUVA= TASHUV HE) and he causes the Shechina to
return to Kudsha Berich Hu, he does not return only to G-d’s former love but
that love is increased more and more. This is the meaning of: “He will again
have compassion upon us”: that He will increase His mercies towards Israel
and perfect them and draw them near to Him.
