God loves you no matter what. He does! He knows you are hurting and He knows you are suffering from guilt. Your sins will be forgiven if you ask Him. He does not want you to hold on to that mentality that you deserve your suffering because you are a sinner and not worthy. It is not true. If you take that stance than His death was for nothing. When Jesus died on the cross, He took all of our sins unto Himself, therefore allowing us to live eternally in Heaven with His Father in glory. He did not die so we could live on earth wallowing in our own condemnation and doom. He is called our Savior because He came to save us. Let Him! So many grew up in certain churches that preached this guilt/sin language that as adults they still believe it. I grew up in the Catholic church and I am grateful I never bought in to that rigid thinking but many have in backgrounds similar to mine and others. Take your focus off of religion, church and man and focus on your relationship with God. That is it. It is you and it is He, together. Lean on Him, pray to Him, cry to Him, make your hearts pure and request of Him. I meet people that are hurting everyday and they search for the "solutions" in self help books, therapy, other people, etc. and the answer is right in front of them.....the cross! Go to Him today, right where you are and He will come right to where you are. And enjoy the freedom of living with Him.
Romans 8:1
God could not have made it more plain and more simple. Be blessed!
