"You must ask forgiveness for Sin(literally sin means falling short of his purpose for you)
It took me 48 years to get to the place where I quit playing games and thinking I was OK because I believe but never really sought with a contrite and open heart as a child that knows nothing before the Great PAPA before I really found Him."
Hi Scooby
Ok, let's use your analogy of God as parent. As a parent myself, I expect my children to stumble and learn from their mistakes but I would not require them to grovel for my forgiveness because that has already been granted through my unconditional love for them.
I think the only challenge we face is to accept
the unconditional love of our creator and let it flow through us like an endless fountain.
"If you are just a lazy ass smart alec you wont find squat"
The very act of "searching" gives testament to the separation that makes us feel we have look outside of our own hearts to find God.
