Help with Christianity!

I used to go to Church every single Sunday and I prayed often and truly loved God. My parents aren't believers so my Grandfather took me to Church. When I was 8, he died. Me and him were extremely close and I couldn't understand why God would take him away from me. After that, I rebelled against God. I thought he didn't love me, so he didn't exist. I told people I didn't believe in him. I'm now 13 and I had a dream with Jesus in it. I saw Jesus and my Grandfather in heaven and saw they were happy. I now want to go back to God and let him help me through my life but I am scared he will not take me back. Can anyone give me advice?

God will always take you back. The only thing that would prevent a warm welcome back into the fold is you, not Him.

The absolute best part about God is His absolute willingness to forgive all sins, and all people, so long as they are truly repentant. He knows you, better than anyone, and He knows and understands your reasons for leaving the Church. But most of all, He knows how sorry you are, and how much you still want to know Him, and He loves you all the more for it.

I have to confess, however, that I do not identify as Christian myself. However, I know that this is the advice that any true Christian would give you, and while I would normally stand back and let those good people answer your question, I just felt compelled to reassure you that you are loved, by God and by your family, and you always will be. You should never have any doubts about that. But, of course, we all do. We all doubt. The important thing is that no matter how far we stray, we always come home again.

Though these words come from the mouth of an Agnostic Christianity fan, I truly mean them with all my heart: God bless.

I agree, repent! If you repent, you will be forgiven, as long as you truly are sorry :)

Of corse God will forgive you.He is a loving and forgiving God.He loves you.He is your spiritual father and you are his child.You will see your grandfather agin when you get to heaven and I am sure he will greet you when its your time.I too believe God was giving you a message in your dream that your grandfather is very happy in heaven.This world that we live in is not our true home,our true home is in heaven with jesus.My father past away last year and I too had a dream that I saw him in heaven.It made me very happy to know he is happy.I say to myself if I had the choice to have my father back alive agin I wouldnt take it.Not that I dont want to see him agin but in heaven their is no pain,no suffering,no worrying about bills being paid,or working 40 hours a week,my father is at peace and so is your grandfather.you will see him agin in heaven.

I'm sorry about your grandfather. But remember the story of the prodigal son. imagine you as the son and God as his father. your dream might mean that Jesus wants you to come back. God is merciful.
