@DavidAlexis1105 you may feel distant but you're not distant. God has made you permanently close to Him. Its the flesh that can and will distort our minds into perceiving wrongfully.
@DavidAlexis1105 all your sins and lawless deeds are forgiven you. Not any of them will ever be laid to your account again. God loves you and calls you His son, His child, His beloved. Colossians says you are seated at the right hand of God in Christ Jesus in the heavenly places.
@iheartmindy Mindy, if you believe in Jesus then you have been made the righteousness of God in Christ! You're righteous! So there's no hoping, you got it all.
