And all of a sudden life seems short and you realize that everyone you love will one day disappear and so spend more time with the people you love doing things that really are meaningful.
There's this sweet moment where you're not obsessed about your sins no matter how big and repetitive they are, and where you focus on your relationship with God more.
You've got a pile of sin heavy on your shoulder that you try so much to lift up but at one moment it defeats you that all you can do is give up and just present yourself to God.
So peaceful.

"ምንም እንኳ በእርሱ ላይ ያመፅን ብንሆን፣ ጌታ አምላካችን ይቅር ባይና መሓሪ ነው።...
አምላክ ሆይ፤ ጆሮህን አዘንብለህ ስማ፤ ዐይንህን ገልጠህ መጥፋታችንንና ስምህ የተጠራበትን ከተማ ተመልከት።
ልመናችንን የምናቀርበው ስለ ጽድቃችን ሳይሆን፣ ስለ ታላቅ ምሕረትህ ነው።"

If you're a Christian then your confidence in life isn't based on how often you've sinned but on how deeply you are loved by God.
"ምንም አይለየንም፤ በዚህ ሁሉ በወደደን በእርሱ ከአሸናፊዎች እንበልጣለን።"

The God that chose and loved you while you were still a sinner isn't going to abandon you when you sin. You still belong to Him.
"But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

What the devil tells you:
"ስለዚህ ሃጥያት የማይሰሩት አሁን ኩነኔ የለበባቸውም"
What God tells you:
"ስለዚህ በክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ ያሉት አሁን ኵነኔ የለባቸውም"

God enjoys forgiving you. Seriously, He does. He genuinely feels happiness and joy for forgiving you.
"የርስቱን ትሩፍ ኀጢአት ይቅር የሚል፣ የሚምር እንደ አንተ ያለ አምላክ ማነው? ለዘላለም አትቈጣም፤ ነገር ግን ምሕረት በማድረግ ደስ ይልሃል።"

Praise the God who chose you not because of your works but by His mercy and grace.
"እንግዲህ በጸጋ ከሆነ በሥራ አይደለም፤ በሥራ ቢሆንማ ኖሮ ጸጋ፣ ጸጋ መሆኑ በቀረ ነበር።"

It's upto you really, you've been offered law or grace and mercy. You can spend your life trying to perfect the law and never ever achieve that OR you can just enjoy the full free gifts of the God who loves you ever so deeply.
Listen, You are loved more than the sins you've committed and more than the consequences of your mistakes.
I love the mercy of God.
It is what sustains me and keeps me sane. If it was for all the sins I've done behind the scenes, if it was for all the consequences of my actions, God should've cursed me down to the pits of hell and I would've agreed on His judgement.
But I am not. I am here. Once again given another chance at life. Once again nurtured and convicted to lead a better life.

You have to understand how deeply you are loved, it is what will open your eyes to the extent to which God is willing to forgive and restore you.
You were known before the creation of the universe, then chosen before you existed. You were formed in your mother's womb by His hands.
You may ascend to the heavens or you might descend to the pits of hell and He is there.
He has watched over you like you're the only human He has ever created and built an unbreakable wall surrounding you.
You've been given things before you even prayed about them.
You are His beloved.
