The theory is that it is easier to ask for forgiveness than to seek permission. While it may seem simpler in the moment to rush past our conscience and better judgment, the consequences of that decision very often result in our wishing we had not (Note 1).

Note 1: 2 Samuel 12:1-13, Psalm 51:4, “Against You and You alone have i sinned…”

#grace: May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. 1 Corinthians 1:3
