You are loved! God loves you. We read in 1 John that God loves you! He wants you to know Him. God does not make anyone He doesn’t care for. And we read in Psalm 139, that God created you and formed you in your mother’s womb. God was there when you were born. You don’t know it, but God knows you.

And there is nothing that you have done that God cannot forgive. You may think that God could not love you because He doesn’t know all the stuff you have done. You may think that you have not been good in certain areas so God could not love you. But that is not true. God does love you and wants you to know Him.

We read in 1 John that if we confess our sin He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and to clean us up. God wants to be a part of your life, but you must ask Him to forgive you. If you have something in your life that you can’t forget, that you can’t overcome, then you need to take that problem to God! He is the One that can clean you up and make you new again. We read in the Bible that if someone is in Jesus, he or she becomes a new creation. God changes you to be someone you are not. He changes you into someone you can love.

How do you do this? Just talk out loud and speak to God. You just have to believe He is listening, because He is. You are just a prayer away from God, but you must mean what you are going to say to God. You just can’t say words and then forget them. You must come to Him and believe He is hearing you. First, tell God that you have sinned, that you have done wrong things. He already knows that anyway. And then ask Him to forgive you of that sin, or all of those sins, everything you’ve ever done wrong, just confess that to Him. Ask Him to forgive you of all that stuff. And then believe that He has heard you and will be with you. Remember, He promises that if you confess your sin, He will forgive you and will clean you up. Are you ready to take your sins to God and let Him deal with them? Jesus died on the cross to shed His blood to cleanse you from your sin. God says in the Bible that without the shedding of blood there is no remission for sin. And so Jesus shed His blood so you could be clean and to know Him.

Come to Him. Tell Him you want to know Him. Ask Him to begin to reveal Himself to you. He will!
