Question
yeah so I've always embraced god and such.
but I've been struggling with some emotional stuff recently
and i keep saying stuff like "oh ill sell my soul to the devil, maybe he could help me"
then i regret even thinking about it, thinking i already did it or something and god won't forgive me

Answer
Hi Nikki,
Many thanks for your message. I'm not sure if you're asking me if I think you've already sold your soul or if I think God will forgive you for saying the things you've said.

In either case, it is never to late to get yourself right with God. He loves you so much, He sent Jesus to die on the cross for you. All you have to do is realize that you do things wrong, belive in Jesus, accept what it is that he did for you and ask him to look after your life and lead you and guide you as you go on.

I say 'all you have to do' but of course, that's some pretty big stuff! Is this the first time you've heard about Jesus and the importance of having a personal relationship with Him?

I'll keep this brief because, like I said, I don't really want to answer the question in this way if that wasn't your question but in a nutshell, there is nothing you can do that God won't forgive. He loved you whilst you were still growing in your mother's tummy. He knows how many hairs you have on your head. He has a plan and a purpose for your life and He wants you to allow Him to share that with you.

The thief dying on the cross next to Jesus asked for forgiveness as he died. Jesus assured him that he (the thief) would be with Jesus that very day in paradise.

Whilst you have breath in your body, it is never too late to seek forgiveness and be reunited with God.

Please let me know if this answers your question because if not, tell me more and I'll do my best. In the meantime, I'll be praying for you Nikki that you will come to know Jesus for yourself.

In His love,
