Genesis 28:15
Now, I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back again into this land. Indeed, I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised to you."
God loved Jacob. Even though he had just deceived his father and brother to steal Isaac's blessing and Esau's birthright, God still promised to bless him. God's plan was to fulfill his promise to Abraham through Jacob. Jacob was blessed because he was chosen by God.
Like Jacob, we have all failed to trust God's plan at different times in our lives. Our times of selfishness may not have resulted in such animosity as Jacob's, his brother plotted to kill him, but they certainly have damaged relationships. Especially our relationship with God.
Thankfully, like Jacob God has forgiven us all of our sins. Even the sin of selfishness. Jesus perfectly obeyed God's plan in our place, because he knew that we can't. We are forgiven because of Jesus. God has chosen us to be his own redeemed children. We can let go of all of our sins and stop running from him. He loves us. He has sent his Son to die for us.
All of your sins have been forgiven!
God bless
