Do We Mourn?

"Those who cannot find time to mourn for their sins also lack time to mend." Fulton Sheen

I wonder if confessing sins, when we do stop to do so, is more like using a drive-thru bank, with God as the teller, than a deliberate pondering and repentance. Or perhaps God is the traffic cop who writes us a ticket and we mail the fine to the court - never having to appear before the judge. 

How can the Holy Spirit work His conviction and deliverance and mending in a people who believe in cheap grace, cheap confession, cheap forgiveness, and cheap deliverance and obedience? 

If sin were cheap Jesus Christ would not have given His life. We were not cheaply redeemed...why do we cheaply confess? Why do we cheaply live?
