If so, this is an exhausting way to live. While it’s essential you Christ through obedience, He doesn’t love you any less when you mess up. What grieves the Father about sin is that it separates you from Him. Your fellowship is broken. You feel the shame of falling short of His holy standard and hide from His as a consequence (Genesis 3:8, 10). But what God wants is deep uninterrupted , abiding fellowship with you, which is why He provided so perfectly on the cross. Now He readily invites you – no matter what you’ve done – to confess you sins to Him. Because when you do, you’re promised He will forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (John 1:9). Why is He so ready to pardon when you fall? Because of His unconditional love for you (John 3:16). He wants you back. He wants you close, Don’t allow your imperfections to keep you separated from Him. May this simple prayer be yours today; Lord, I’m so grateful for Your love and acceptance. I confess my sins. Thank You for forgiving me, amen.
