Eternally Welcome

The Bible says: Hebrews 4:16 (NLT)

“let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.”

God always wants you to go to Him. Always. As His child, you are eternally welcome in His holy presence. Any feeling of shame that keeps you from approaching Him originates from you—not from Him.

This is one of the reasons the enemy will temp you to sin or violate commands. He knows that if he can get you to rebel against God, you will feel so guilty and embarrassed about it, you will hide from the Father’s loving presence. The more the enemy can get you to focus on your unworthiness, the easier it is for him to keep you from the Savior who makes you worthy.

But understand that God wants to forgive you and welcome you into His presence no matter what you’ve done or how you feel. Go to Him. Pray to Him, turn from sin, and accept his grace. His loving arms faithfully await you.
