Think back.
Back to when you were a child.
Back to Sunday School.
When you first heard about Jesus and God.
What did they tell you?
Did they threaten you with hell?
Did they punish and shame you?
Did they make you feel guilty and afraid?
Because none of these things comes from God.
They are human failings.
And failing to see.
God judges no one.
God punishes no one.
God is our loving Father.
And a loving father does not punish his children.
So fear not!
Your sins are forgiven.
And your soul is safe in Heaven.
