God is all forgiving and all loving. He waits for you with open arms.

Just turn to God. Ask for forgiveness. Tell Him how you feel. He knows your heart.

God bless you

Of course. Seeking God is a lifetime journey and there are many frequent detours along the way, often in order to learn different approaches and discover which serve God and which serve the world of man. There is little of God in the world of man because they are two opposing systems, one based on self, the other on selflessness.

 

[Carl Emerson]

Do you feel you are trapped in the wrong realm?

Col 1:
12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.…

This is the journey out - through confession of sin, repentance, renounciation, cleansing, healing, submission to Him.

Make this journey out your Number One priority.

Read the Word, immerse yourself in prayer, be mentored by solid loving folks.

It took me 7 years - there is nothing He cannot deal with - a submitted life is beautiful in His hands.

You are greatly loved by Him.

Time to come home.

I also had a fling with God once, and he left me standing at the altar. But all I could think at the time was, what am I going to do with all the shrimp.

Hi Shanelg94 & welcome to CF!

You can, absolutely, come back to God. He is awaiting your return. The Bible says it doesn't matter who you are or what you have done:

22) We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. (Romans 3:22 NLT)​

Because of what Jesus Christ did on the cross, everything you’ve ever done wrong can be forgiven. God forgives freely, completely, instantly, and repeatedly.

It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done, who you’ve done it with, how long you did it, or where you did it — you can be saved. You can be forgiven. Everything is forgiven when you trust in Jesus Christ.

9) If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10) For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. (Romans 10:9-10 NLT)​

Abba Yahuah, thank you for Your Work in this life...please Breathe a Fresh Breath into this Body and raise us up...deliver us from the pull of illusion and let us shine Your True Light,in the Name of Yahshua ha Mashiach...Firstborn from among the dead...Amen.

Colossians 1
"17He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence. 19For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him."

*Colossians 1:29
"29To this end I labor,striving with all His energy working powerfully within me."

Hi
Nothing is too hard for God, nobody too far away. Please read the story of The Prodigal Son. Then pray. Miracles will then happen to you. You are as worthy to God as all of us. He will not reject you if you are sincere. Gid bless you.

Hi Shanelg94,

If you want to come back to God - and it seems like you might, or you would not be posting this - that is the first step.
If you want to know God again, you can tell him you are sorry and ask him to help you to know him. God reveals himself to us in the Bible. It's best not to start at the beginning when reading the bible; Mark's Gospel is a good place to start.
Your children having the names of pagan god is not a problem - the days of the week and months of the year are named after pagan gods, that doesn't mean we worship those gods. If your children become Christians they may, or may not, want to take new names. A "pagan" tattoo can be hidden or removed, should you wish it to be.

God loves you, knows all about you and why you fell away and is waiting for you to return to him.

The Lord is merciful and is always waiting to embrace us in His loving arms. No matter how far deep we may be in our sins. He also leads and takes us through whatever process, we may need to go through, inorder for us to be completely set free.
