And nothing will ever separate you from my love again... Romans 8:38-39

Question:

Hello, I am a girl and I am 13 years old. I am in grade 9.
I am a horrible awful person. I know god hates me and if he doesn't he should! I know I am going to hell. But my mom who passed away a bit ago I think she is is heaven and my dad says she is in hell but I do not beleive him. I do bad things and some of them I can not stop cause someone makes me do them. Please help me. I want to just disappear

Answer:

Hi! First I want to say that no matter what you've done, you are not a horrible person in God's eyes, and he loves you very much. Isaiah 43:4 says that you are very dear to God and he loves you. God loves you so much that he died on the cross for your sins so that you can live. 1 Peter 2:24 says the Jesus personally carried the load of our sins in his own body when he died on the cross. That means that even if it were just you in the world with sin, Jesus would have died for you. He loves you that much. There is nothing you can do that will stop God from loving you- nothing.

If you are doing bad things then stop! You saying that you do bad things mean you know that they are bad. Doing bad seperates you from Christ. Stop whatever you are doing and ask for forgiveness, God will forgive you. But don't just stop and do it again. You must stop and not do it again!

If someone is making you do bad things, then you must tell a trusted adult, if you can't tell your father, tell your pastor, a teacher, or a friends parent. No one should be doing things to you that are bad or that makes you feel bad. Jesus Christ came so that we could enjoy life, not feel bad in it.

If you have not accepted Christ as your personal savior, please do. He will come into your life and help you change the bad, and then you will know you are going to heaven for sure.

To recieve Christ you must do four things and mean them with your whole heart. 1. Admit you are a sinner and have sinned, 2) repent and don't do the same bad things again, 3) believe that Jesus Christ died for you, and 4) receive through prayer Jesus Christ into your life. Below is a prayer that you can say, or you can let your heart lead you.

Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I know that you died on the cross for my sins and have risen from the dead. I open my heart to receive You as my Savior and Lord. Forgive me of my sins. Change me, and make me into the kind of person You want me to be. Help me to live for You and to share Your love with others. Amen.

If you have already accepted Jesus, or if you just did then you are saved. You will go to heaven :) But, please know that you must continue not doing bad, and strive to do good.

Read your Bible, pray, find a church to go to, and find Christian friends who will help you.

Most importantly seek God in everything you do, and he will lead you!

If you need to talk further, please feel free to do so.
God bless you,
Tia
