Samuel answeredL Even though what you did was wrong, you don’t need to be afraid. But you must always follow the Lord and worship Him with all your heart.
...The Lord has chosen you to be His own people. He will always take care of you so that everyone will know how great He is.

I find comfort in the fact that God will not forsake me even though there are many times that I fail Him, because that’s just who He is. :)
