Jeremy,
please try to stop worrying.
Remember how God teaches us to forgive over and over and over again?

Matthew 18:
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Jesus does far more than what he taught us to do.
God is a very forgiving God when we are sincere.
None of us are without sin, no matter how hard we try, right?
And God does not measure sin.
Sin is sin.
If you think he can forgive someone stealing a candy bar, he can forgive the rest.
It is all bad to him.
Gossip, judging others, a white lie, etc....is no less of a sin than adultery, getting high, etc.
Only we humans measure sin, what WE think to be worse or less bad; God doesn't.
Please take your sincerity and believe that God has taken you back into His arms.
If you think by turning your back on God, previously, that you will miss out on heaven, than we probably all will.
Just thank him for accepting you back, Jeremy!
You are his.

Jeremy, it sounds to me like you are beating yourself up over this. And it's normal for us to feel this way. After all, we feel this way because we have turned our backs to the best thing that ever happened to us.

But God knew that we were not going to be perfect. I think we should always strive for perfection, even though we will never reach it. But at the same time we shouldn't beat ourselves up when we stumble. I simply see this as you going through a time of weakness. And we all know what the Word says about our weakness.

2Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

God's grace was sufficient for me and it is sufficient for you. His strength is made perfect through our weakness. We just have to learn to pick up the pieces and become stronger Christians.

It's time for you to start picking up the pieces my friend and turn them over to the power of Jesus. I promise you, he can fix them. Stay the faith Bro, God won't let you down when you put him first.

Jeremy here are a few scriptures for you to meditate on:


Rom 8:1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

If you accepted Jesus as Lord and saviour you are no longer under any condemnation from Him

1Jn 3:19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
1Jn 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
1Jn 3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

God sees your heart and even now is making a way for you to be at His side


Rom 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Rom 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Rom 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Rom 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


there is only one thing that can put distance between you and Him and that is you - but even know He has you hungering to come back- trust God and He will draw you near!
Many blessings in His Name Larry

As long as you are alive and breathin!......Jesus would have forgiven (already did) Judas if Judas would have forgiven himself and went to Jesus! But he didn't. But he could have.
I believe as long as you are actively seeking,and repenting, grace still covers you. True apostacy/blasphamy is when after repeated attempts by God to woo you back and you refuse to turn. At some point, even God lets you to your own folly.
There's a scripture that says, let the decieved become more decieved...don't know at the moment where that is...
anyways,
I pray that you forgive yourself and except Gods forgiveness and grace. I pray for your whole spirit, mind and body to be healed, in Jesus name. Amen.
