🕊️ Will God take me back even though I screwed up my life? Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Still yes—but let’s talk about why, because this question doesn’t come from rebellion. It comes from regret. ⸻ You’re Not Asking Because You Don’t Care People who are truly lost don’t ask this question. They justify. They blame. They numb. But you are asking because somewhere inside you is a quiet ache that says, “I didn’t mean for it to go this far.” That ache matters. ⸻ God Is Not Shocked by Your Story There is no version of your life that caught God off guard. Not the divorce. Not the addiction. Not the anger. Not the years you ran, hid, or pretended you were fine. God doesn’t flip through your past like a police report. He looks at it like a Father watching His child limp home. ⸻ Grace Is Not a Reward for Good Behavior This is where people get stuck. We think repentance means: • cleaning ourselves up first • fixing the damage • becoming “worthy” again But grace works in the opposite direction. You don’t come back because you’re healed. You come back to be healed. ⸻ The Cross Already Answered Your Question If God was willing to endure humiliation, torture, and death before you ever messed up your life, why would your failure suddenly be too much? Jesus Christ didn’t die for the future version of you that “gets it right.” He died for the version of you asking this exact question. ⸻ Shame Says “Hide.” God Says “Come Home.” Shame whispers: “You blew your chance.” God says: “I never rescinded the invitation.” Shame tells you God is disappointed in you. Scripture shows God is heartbroken for you. There is a difference. ⸻ What Repentance Really Looks Like Repentance is not groveling. It’s not self-loathing. It’s not punishing yourself long enough to feel forgiven. Repentance is simply turning around & saying: “I don’t want this life anymore. I want You.” And God has never rejected that prayer. ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Love #God #Jesus
