Thank God, God is more ready to forgive than to punish. Thank God, Jesus made it quite clear that he had come to be with and to help those in need.

“Those who are well do not need a physician,” he said, “but those who are ill.” Jesus said those are the ones he had come to help. When I am most miserable in mind, body, or spirit, that is when I need God’s love the most and reach out for it in the greatest desperation. And even when I do not immediately recognize it, it is always there.
