What would I say today?

If you struggle with chronic lying, Jesus loves you. 
If you struggle with laziness, Jesus loves you. 
If you struggle with gossip, Jesus still loves you. 
If you struggle with filthy language, Jesus still loves you. 
If you struggle with anger, theft, rejection, loss.. Jesus still loves you. 
If you struggle with respect, Jesus still loves you. 
If you struggle with modesty, Jesus still loves you. 
If you struggle with lust, Jesus still loves you. 
If you struggle with some addiction or other idol, Jesus still loves you. 
If you struggle with confusion, perversion and sexuality, Jesus loves you.  
If you struggle with an attitude, with puffed up thinking and pride, Jesus still loves you ..gobs! 
And so much so.. He has repentance, faith, inner regeneration, victory and spiritual growth in mind for you -- sure, He loves each of us too much to leave us as we are. And guess what.. He loves your friends, family and enemies as well. Go tell. 
God can get you past the sin and challenges by the power of His word and Spirit, and He’s indeed going to love you all the way through it. Apply the word wisely.. prayerfully. You won't regret allowing Jesus to be both your Lord who leads, and Savior who saves.  
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him.
Every single way of man typically seems smart and right in his own mind and eyes, but guess what.. guess who accurately weighs those hearts. The One who delights to be your Lord, who loves to bless and help people like you and me. 
The circumstances change, but the Word doesn't change at all. Have you come to Christ as you are..for His forgiveness? Have you prayed about it all as much as you've talked about it all..to all? I mean about them, it, or what's bugged you? Doing my best I commit the rest! Commit it all into His loving hands. 

For whatever was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that we may have hope through endurance and through the encouragement from the Scriptures. Romans 15:4
