May God bless you, above all, seek Him Pray to Him, cry out for wisdom, trust not yourself but Him, don't look to your own righteousness to justify you or save you, but to His, and His death on the cross for your sins, His shed blood that cleanse you, and the Robe of His Righteousness that in love hides you in Him, and God sees you in Christ, and loves you and remembers your forgiven sins no more becaue He loves you, called you, and you came home, having been led to and seeking a savior; Jesus Christ who died for you, blessed beyond measure, deserving wrath but Christ took that, having no righteouness but Christ won that for you and acredited it to your acount through faith in Him.

Hedd His warnings, but know they are for your good out of love, and if He paid the price for your sins which you could not do, then anything you ever could do will not do for paying the price for your sins so quit insulting Him and worship Him instead for His sacrafice and for being washed in the prescious blood of the Lamb...foolishness to the world but wisdom from God to those who believe.
