If you ever have the idea that God doesn't love you because of something you did...the fact is...He loves you period. He sent His Son to die for the very sins you're worried about. He doesn't like the sin...because it is sin. It only hurts us. A father will never like something that hurts his children. But He will always love us.
It doesn't matter if it happened last year, over the weekend, last night or 5 minutes ago. May we lay what we've done down, ask for forgiveness...and receive the grace He so freely offers.
May His grace, hope and Love help us to move forward as we take His hand and leave what happened in the past...in the past. Now is what matters...and now...we are walking with Him.
We are new creations. May we Live like it...focused on The Creator.

John 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him."
Isaiah 43:18-19 "Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert."
2Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."
