Has God ever tried warning you not to go a certain way?
Has "Caution" tape been hung and you chose to rip it down and continue on anyway?
Have you come into regret and in need of God's mercy?
"Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper,
but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy."
Proverbs 28:13
"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses,
but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence,
so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need"
Hebrews 4:15-16
"All of us also lived among them at one time,
gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
made us alive with Christ
even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved".
Ephesians 2:3-5
"Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
'For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways' declares the LORD."
Isaiah 55:6-8
