Questions

Can I be forgiven for anything?

Yes. That's at the very heart of the Christian message: no one is too far gone.

Forgiveness isn't something you earn by being good enough. It's a gift. Jesus kept forgiving people everyone else had written off, including a criminal dying next to him on a cross.

Forgiveness doesn't always erase consequences, and you may still want to make things right with someone. But guilt and shame don't get the last word.

A next step: Tell God honestly what's weighing on you. If it's heavy, a pastor can be a safe person to talk it through with.
