Forgiveness

What a marvel it is to ask for and grant forgiveness.  Did you notice how difficult it is to NOT grant forgiveness when it is sought?  It is like offering a response as light as air, really easy to do...almost natural.  Too bad we are often convinced that asking for forgiveness is something hard and heavy.  Makes me wonder who is telling us that lie.  God certainly doesn't seem to be saying that, nearly always offering us forgiveness if we will just ask for it.
