Praise God for his forgivness. I am struggling with this, but I have a lovely church family. And a other pastors, remember God loves you, and anytime you feel condemned or even worthless or depressed or scared, those are all lies from the devil. Don't worry, have faith! And remember you can't go by your feelings! Keep encouraging guys! #God bless

This is a really simple truth to digest. Yes, God forgives us over and over for the sane sin(s). We tell lies from the time we learn how until we stop talking. I don't mean make up stories, I mean we don't tell the unvarnished truth all the time.
The jealous-hearted wake up envious of their constituents everyday and go to bed that night with the same heart. Jealousy is not of love which makes it of sin. It's one of the most difficult sins to overcome because it's one of the hardest to identify.
Lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, slanderous, brutal, treacherous, reckless, conceited, etc (2 Tim 3:2,3), these are the everyday sins that God forgives daily. We who are afflicted with these maladies, and some not mentioned here, usually live a lifetime under the weight of them.
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is His faithfulness (Lam 3:22,23).
Does God continue to forgive repeat offenders? He must... If we're still living, evidently He does. Otherwise we would have died long ago. The wages of sin is death (Rom 3:23). If you're not dead you're e been spared at least for now.
