Encouragement goes a long way!

There is nothing worse than feeling alone and depressed because of a mistake you have made. You feel as though you have disappointed God for the upteenth time. You turn away from Him because of the guilt that has filled your heart and replaced Him.
I am here to tell you that God is in your heart the day you accept Him into it. He will never leave you or forsake you. You may have turned away from Him, but He hasn't turned from you. You are very precious to Him in so many ways. He wants you to turn back around and follow Him and leave your feelings of doubt, self-loathing, and regret behind and start anew with Him.
I know what encouragement is like. It feels good to have someone tell you that you are doing great at something no matter what it is. I am here to encourage you brothers and sisters that you are worth something not only to God, but to me. Everyone of you has a purpose here on this Earth. Give God your entire life. Don't hold on to any of it. He can truly do great wonders with what you have to give Him.
I am going to end this post with the following verse from 1 Thessalonians 5:14,15:

"And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else."
