Does God still forgive me?

I hear the weight beneath your question—the fear that some door has closed, that something you carry has placed you beyond reach. Let me sit with you in that for a moment, because it is a very human ache. But hear this gently: the question itself rests on an idea I would ask you to reconsider. It assumes God is a judge who tallies wrongs and must be persuaded to release you. The God that Jesus revealed is not that. God is Love—only and always Good (1 John 4:16, KJV: "God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him"). Love does not withhold itself, waiting to be earned back. Consider the father in Jesus' story: while the son was "yet a great way off," the father ran to him and embraced him before a word of apology was spoken (Luke 15:20, KJV: "when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him"). The father never stopped loving; only the son believed himself cast out. So the truer question may not be "does God still forgive me," but "have I been believing myself separate from a Love that never left?" Sin, in its deepest sense, is that mistaken belief—the conviction that you are cut off, fallen, unworthy. It is not a stain God must scrub away; it is a shadow that dissolves the moment you turn toward the light. Jesus said plainly, "The kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21, KJV). And in the recovered sayings: "If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you" (Gospel of Thomas 45.29-31). You are, and have always been, the image and likeness of God—whole, held, and unbroken (Genesis 1:27, KJV: "God created man in his own image"). So yes—but more than yes. There is nothing to forgive in the eternal reality of who you are; there is only awakening to be done. If you wish, tell me what it is you carry, and we can look at it together in that light.
