I was 16 years old when I committed my first major sin. I had participated in sexual acts with a married man. At the time I felt dirty and sick, and felt like I could not say no to him; I had babysitted for him and loved his children so much and I didn’t want to ruin any chance of not being able to see them. At the same time I liked the attention I was getting from him, just not the acts that he requested.I was very close with his family until he came home drunk one night and put his hand on my leg; I grimiced and his wife saw it. She slapped him across his face and ordered me to leave. She did apologize for his actions, but now she doesn’t want me around her or her family. I do not keep in contact with him now or his children. I had went to confession and prayed for God’s forgiveness. I had felt relieve after that but now 6 years later am still worried about going to hell for it. I wish it never happened and I worry that I won’t see my loved ones in Heaven. I would like someone to give me thier opinion and tell me if I will still beable to get into heaven. Every time I think about this situation it makes me sick and I cry about it still. Please help!
Sincerely,

Let me make sure I have this straight — This PREDATOR, used the facts (1) you were his employee; (2) you loved his children; and (3) you were young and naive to take advantage of you and abuse you as his toy. If anyone in this situation is guilty of serious mortal sin here, it’s the PREDATOR!
I’m just sorry you ran into this man. Here’s what you need to know according to the Scriptures…
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
As far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.
Psalm 103:2-5, 8-12 ESV
“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the LORD,
“Though your sins are as scarlet,
They will be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They will be like wool.”
Isaiah 1:18 NASB
But he was wounded for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:5-6 ESV
My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. He himself is the perfect sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world.
1 John 2:1-2 NLT
God has forgiven whatever sin you were responsible for in this situation,. He washed you clean in the Blood of the Lamb who was slain from before the Foundation of the world (Rev. 7:9-17 & Rev. 13:8), and He has removed your sin as far as East is from West, or one end of the universe is from the other end.
Please accept this and be at peace, and let the Devil, the Accuser of the Brethren have no more power over you.
Your Brother and Servant in Christ, Michael
