No Difference Between Once and a Thousand Times

He forgives us our faults each and every year (from the Yom Kippur prayer book)

By human standard, if one person harms another and asks his forgiveness and is pardoned, and then repeats the misdeed, it becomes very difficult to grant pardon again, and certainly a third and fourth time. But by G-d's standard, there is no difference between once and a thousand times, as pardon is a manifestation of the attribute of mercy, and Divine attributes are not limited and finite but are infinite, as it states, "For His mercies have not ended."

(Tanya, Igeret HaTeshuva)
