Tied

Okay, let's focus on God here:

The Gospel: "If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, 'I am sorry,' you should forgive him."

Why does God ask this of us? Because he treats us in the very same way.

EVERY time we go back to God he will forgive us... however only if we go back. If we don't ask for forgiveness, he CAN'T forgive us. His divine hands are tied.
