Does God even love certain people who were "mistakes"?

As i recovering alcoholic i would loveto know what god thinks of people like myself.

Like the previous person said, God loves you. He does not care that you were an alcoholic. When you were an alcoholic he loved you and he loves you now.

“Give strong drink to the one who is perishing, and wine to those in bitter distress; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more” (Proverbs 31:6–7)

I have been clean for a while now but for 10 years i would get smashed 3/4 times a week considering i lived a bachelor life as an expat with a good job in China but i now live with my gf and got sober and grew up. Im 36 and was raised a catholic and praying has helped me get back into my faith. There is a church here in Chengdu but my work is busy on weekends so cant attend mass. Im enjoying this new chapter of my life.

My mother, who is a spiritual woman, has always talked about God's free will with humanity. One of the things she talks about is how some people have children that they weren't really supposed to have, which is part of God's "free will". So my question is this: Does God even care about the children who weren't really supposed to be brought into this world? Does he even cover their life? Does he even love them? I just don't see why I should follow a God who doesn't love certain people who weren't supposed to be brought into the world, but "they're here anyways", as my mother puts it. My grandmother is a minister, and I don't know about her views and beliefs on this subject matter.

My uncle is an example of this. His father isn't exactly a good person, and he has some bad genes that were passed down to him. So as a result, he doesn't act right sometimes. My mother has even said that "his mother should have aborted him when she had the chance", and that "some people really do have demon children". I feel like I'm mildly one of those children, since my depression started back in 2019 when my stepfather moved in with me and my mom, and he started to "toughen" me up since I was having attitudes left and right, even with my own mother. It was a really rough process, and it started my depression and suicidal ideation. It did make me tougher, and I stopped having attitudes, but I feel like that was one of the prices I had to pay for being my dad's son. Even my stepfather picked on me for being my dad's son a few times. He doesn't do it anymore though.

I was 15 at the time, which isn't an excuse, but yeah. My dad said that he had a lot of attitudes as well, and I feel like God is punishing me for being my father's son. My grandmother hates my dad since she had to watch her own daughter suffer mentally at the hands of him. He wasn't abusive in any way, but he left me and my mom when I was 2, when caused my mother great stress since she had to work at night-shift corporate jobs.

It really makes me not even want to be alive anymore, since what's the point of living life when I'm already a mistake, and I feel like God views me as one of those "mistake" children, like my uncle. I don't know, can anyone shed some light on this so I know the decision I have to make in the near future? Because if it isn't meant for me to be alive, then I might as well do what I have to do.

"Beloved, you were made for Me, created for love’s purpose. I created you in My image, and gave you My breath, My life. Therefore, this is life: I AM HE!... Beloved, you worry, yet I AM HE. You weep, yet I AM HE. You stumble, yet I AM HE. Your hearts tear and break over all these sorrows, yet I AM HE. You struggle and are in turmoil, you feel lost, yet I AM HE. You grasp at the wind and have no understanding, yet I AM HE. You are persecuted by those you love, yet I AM HE. The world hates you, yet I AM HE. Everything you have is passing away, yet I AM HE. Death comes to take you into darkness, yet I AM HE!


Do you not understand?! I AM ENOUGH! -
The One who sees, The One who knows...

No matter the time or the season,
In every moment of your life, I AM HE!...


Says The Lord."

Excerpt from: I AM HE - The Volumes of Truth

Come, Love Awaits You​

Come, all those who know not My ways; I will show you.

Come, all those who have been abandoned;
I will comfort you and give you shelter.

Come, all those who are crippled;
Let us run and leap for joy together!

Come, all those faithless;
I shall fill your cup, and watch how it overflows!

Come, all murderers;
Watch Me raise you, and all who sleep, from the grave.

Come, all you who blaspheme, I will give you a new voice;
Bring with you all those who are blind and deaf,
For they too shall see and hear!

Indeed, come all those who have sinned against Me, take My hand!
I will lead you to the waters where I shall wash you,
And where your new clothes hang upon the tree
Which grows next to the stream...

Come one, come all! Ask, and it shall be given you!
For all things are possible with God
And made manifest through The Son...

Says The Lord YahuShua.

Daily Propane is my old account on CF and completely forgot my login details. After a year back in the UK taking care of things I moved back to Guangzhouto resume my career in education (I don’t want to hear anyones input about where I live unless you have something nice to say otherwise don’t bother saying anything negative). I am now living a very clean life and im straight edge (without the punk music as it’s a terrible genre) and I have settled down with my girlfriend with whom we reunited. I only look towards to the future as a good christian and hard working man whos goal is to make a more than comfortable living. My strongest drink is a pepsi and my indulgence is going for nice days out and enjoying lovely food. My hobbies are keeping fit and playing video games. I love god, family and all the great things in the world xxx
