God is not a cruel principal sitting behind a large desk in an office with a disapproving look waiting for you to mess up so He can punish you.
God is like a loving and compassionate Father, the type of parent who stands in the doorway looking for their child to return. At first sight He runs to meet you, embrace you and welcome you home.
“While he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him and kissed him.” Luke 15:20, NLT
