b'Have you ever messed up and then felt like you needed to somehow hide from\\nGod? Adam and Eve felt that way in the Garden of Eden. They did something\\nwrong, and they thought they could make things better by hiding from God.\\n.\\nNot only does God see you even when you are trying to hide, but He loves\\nyou\\u2014 even after you\\u2019ve committed a sin and done something you know you\\nshouldn\\u2019t have done. He already knows it all. There is no need for you to\\nhide from Him.\\n.\\nWe all mess up. When we do wrong, we might feel that we are unworthy and\\nthat God shouldn\\u2019t love us after what we\\u2019ve done. God always loves us\\nthough, no matter what we do or how badly we fail. God\\u2019s love for us isn\\u2019t\\nbased on what we have done, but on what He has done.\\n.\\nIn Jesus, God came to earth as a human and lived among us. He never sinned,\\nbut He took the weight of all our sin upon Himself when He went to the\\ncross. He paid the price for our sin with His life, and then He rose from\\nthe dead, triumphant over sin and death! Through Jesus, God has given us\\nthe gift of salvation: He forgives all our sins, saves us from death, and\\nrestores us to relationship with Him.\\n.\\nYou don\\u2019t have to hide away when you\\u2019ve done something wrong. Instead, you\\ncan confess and repent of your sin: turn away from your sin and turn to God\\nfor forgiveness. Because of what Jesus has done, you can be totally\\ncleansed from sin. And, because the Holy Spirit lives inside Christians,\\nyou can move on and follow God\\u2019s good ways, free from shame and guilt.\\n.\\nYou are loved with an unconditional love. You are cared for by the One who\\ncreated you and really knows you. God\\u2019s love will always be a part of your\\nlife. \\u2022 Emily Acker\\n.\\n\\u2022 Why do you think, as humans, we try to hide when we do something that we\\nknow is wrong? \\n.\\n\\u2022 Sometimes it\\u2019s hard to believe that God loves us even when we mess up. In\\nmoments like these, who are trusted Christians who can pray with you and\\nremind you of God\\u2019s forgiveness through Jesus? How can you be this kind of\\nfriend to others? (If you want to know more about Jesus\\u2019s forgiveness, take\\na look at our \\u201cKnow Jesus\\u201d page.)\\n.\\nFor everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God\\u2019s glorious standard. Yet\\nGod, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through\\nChrist Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
