Your Question:
can i still have a relationship with god?
Answer:
As a pastor of a local evangelical church, I've had the privilege of guiding many individuals in their relationship with God. The question of whether one can still have a relationship with God is a common concern, but the good news is that it's never too late to establish or deepen that relationship. If you've never established a personal relationship with God, you can do it right now by praying and asking Him to save you and forgive you of your sins. Having a relationship with God is not about complicated rituals or rules; it's about having a right-standing relationship with Jesus Christ. When you have that relationship, you can trust that God will continue to pour rivers of living water through you, regardless of your circumstances. The key is to keep your relationship right with Him, and He will continue to guide and bless you. It's not about trying to serve God to be blessed, but because you have sufficient grounds to trust, worship, and serve Him. In my experience, God's timing is always perfect, and He will reveal Himself to you in His own way and time. I encourage you to wait for His timing and trust that He will do what's best for you. When you have a relationship with God, you can be confident that nothing can separate you from His love, not even sin. Just as a child in a human family may offend their parents but still remain a child, so too can we remain God's children even when we sin.
