When Adam and Eve disobeyed My Father, they hid themselves because they were afraid and ashamed. Ever since that time, people often run from My presence when they sin because they fear that I will punish them. They are ashamed to face Me. They forget what I purchased for them with My very own blood when I died on the cross.
When I died on the cross, I bore not only the sins of the world, but I also bore the rejection, shame, punishment, and fear that often result when a person sins. Of course, when you sin, you will have consequences, but I came to cleanse and forgive all of your sins (past, present, and future).
I want you to run to Me whenever you sin. Confess your sins and receive My forgiveness and cleansing. Shame and fear of Me need never be a part of your life ever. Remember I invited you to come to Me when you are heavy laden so that I can take every burden from you. Shame and fear are great burdens that will separate you from fellowshipping with Me. I long for you to enjoy My presence with you always.
