God loves us regardless of what we may have done.
When God appointed David as king, his background didnt matter. He was a shepherd boy who truly loved and feared God.
When David struck down Uriah the Hittite & took his wife for himself, God sent Prophet Nathan to him and after realising his mistake, David went into deep repentance. Psalm 51.
God didn't stop loving him. He gave him a chance to mend his ways. He gave him another child, Solomon whom God loved so much. 2 Samuel 12:25.
Samson being set apart to God as a Nazarite, made a great mistake of revealing his source of strength and the Lord left him. Samson prayed to God to remember him and give him strength to avenge the Philistines. Because of His love, God granted him his request.
Let's look at Apostle Peter. Peter was among the three disciples Jesus always took along with him for prayers. He was so close to Jesus and witnessed the transfiguration. After the Lord's supper, Jesus told his disciples that they will stumble in faith. But Peter answered, " Everyone else may stumble in their faith but i will not." After Jesus was arrested, Peter denied him three times before the cock crowed. Even after insisting that he would never disown Jesus, he still slipped. When he released what he had done, he confessed his sin and was forgiven.
The Lord still loved him and said to him "On this rock i will build the church and the power of death will not be able to defeat it."Peter became one of the greatest Apostles confirming God's word with miracles. He also founded the early churches.
God still loves us no matter the mistakes we have done. We have all fallen short of God's glorious standards. But His promises to His called still remains. God is looking for a broken spirit & contrite heart. A humble heart that confesses when it wrongs, and is willing to mend its ways when it goes astray. He says, come as you are.
Jesus is waiting for us to come back to him and seek his forgiveness,this is the reason why he came. To set us free from our iniquities. It's through him that we are set right with God.
So no matter what sin you may have committed during this past year, God's love never fails! He still loves you and has good plans for you.
