Don’t be afraid to ask God for forgiveness. He never tires of forgiving us. God is pure mercy.

God's capacity to forgive is greater than our capacity to sin; while our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. It's a message revealing the radical contrast between the sinful heart of mankind and the gracious heart of mankind's Creator.
