Why do we think that sin draws us away from God. Well, actually, it can lead us away but let me put it another way. Why do we think that sin causes God to stop loving us? Jesus died for my sins so when I think about my sin I should immediately see the cross and realize how much He loves me.  That's the ONLY reason He would've gone to the cross for me.  Because He loved me.  Kuz I didn't deserve it.  And He didn't deserve to die.  I should've been the one to be crucified and He knew that and He stepped in because He loved me and He took away the dirt and shame and guilt...I just need to really receive that......
