For God did not send His Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. - John 3:17 (Amplified)
God is for you, not against you. He sent Jesus to show us His love and to extend His mercy and grace to us. Often times, religion and tradition has painted a picture of a God who hates the world and is waiting for us to approach Him so He can judge and condemn us for our mistakes. Ignorantly, we've made God out to be an old miser with a bull whip just waiting for us to get out of line so He can smack us a good one. But praise God, He actually provides salvation, hope and safety and is ready to accept, love and forgive all who come to Him. Remind yourself today, that through Jesus, your are accepted, justified and sanctified by the finished work of redemption of the cross.
Have A Blessed day
