Not being tired of asking forgiveness

There is no sin that God cannot forgive. The only sin that God cannot forgive is the sin that we are not asking for forgiveness.
Let's ask God to forgive us without shame which is first for ourselves and then for others because forgiveness always first benefits the one who forgives.
One day should not be passed by forgiving oneself and others.
I won't be tired of asking forgiveness because forgiveness is already for-given to me even before I say a word before the Lord.
