I was super thirsty. I didn't have any money after buying clothes, and stuff so I figured I'd take one. I mean I felt better but then I felt sad. I ordered a mango super jamba with a sugary sugar cookie, took, and dashed. Will he still love me? He should understand how I was super thirsty, right? My MOUTH WAS SOO DRY! I was super hungry! What do you think?

Why didn't you save money to buy food and drinks at the mall instead of spending it all on clothing that you probably don't even need? You couldn't wait a few minutes to get home and have something there?

no but you will have bad Karma and it could come back to haunt you in the form of bad health or unlucky in love.
whatever you do in life has a consequence.
you chose to steal. you got away with this ..someone may steal something (maybe a friend or loved one or a person you trust) that you treasure...it will happen as sure as there will be a tomorrow
you are a thief...maybe your mouth was dry..that is no excuse to steal as you had the money for your precious clothes..
if you will steal little you will steal a lot...this is a reflection on your mother and father and how they taught you morals...
what if you got caught and was brought down for your action. in some countries they would cut off your hand for stealing.
God hates sin but loves the sinner..Yes, Jesus would forgive you but it shows that the devil tempted you and you caved in to this simple temptation. Where do you draw the line between good and evil? Karma says you will pay back more then the actual transgression..Paybacks is hell

Well, you must understand that whatever the circumstances, you were wrong.
You committed a sin: stealing.
Your punishment could be jail time, surgical removal of your hand, or perhaps even death depending on where you live. In the United States, you could be prosecuted and sent away for a while whether the question of God's forgiveness gets answered or not. You are subject to the laws of the land in which you live, even according to the Bible.
As for your soul, you do have the opportunity to ask for forgiveness. If you want to compare this to life in the world, Jesus is like your lawyer, and God is the Judge. If you truly repent of your sins, Jesus takes your case. If you are just playing games, there is nothing Jesus can do for you. God calls you up to the bench, and asks you about your sins. You can try to deny them, but everybody there already knows of your guilt, even you. As God is about to pronounce your sentence, Jesus, who until now has said nothing (you were thinking, 'Some laywer!') stands up and proclaims that you are one of His, and no sentence is necessary. All of your fines have already been paid by Jesus's blood, spilled on the cross two thousand years ago.
Oh, OK, says God. Case closed. And you are led away to remain on the heavenly plane forever more.
To attain this, you must repent.
Repent means to turn away from sin. You must express your regret, and TURN AWAY from further sin. You may fail from time to time because as humans we are imperfect, but this is not a license to sin more. We must honestly try to sin no more.
Another part of repenting is making your sin right. Whoever you "hurt" in committing your sin must be made whole. This means that you need to return to the vendor and pay for your goods. From God's point of view, once the vendor is whole, that is enough, but if Man's law comes into play, you must pay whatever fines or punishments the law prescribes, as well.

Well he was offered vinegar from the Romans when he was on the crucifix, so he can probably relate to how you were thirsty for a Mango Super Jamba.

If you know it's wrong, there's more to just repenting...you just can't keep doing bad things and think that you can repent and that everything will be fine.
You have to pay back what you stole. You actually have to feel remorse, to ask for forgiveness not only from God but from the people you cheated and then you have to pay a retribution.
The whole idea about repenting is making a promise to God that you will not do those things again...if you do, those things you repented for will be returned to you and your punishment will be more severe in the long run.

Jesus might let the mango jamba juice slide but you'll burn in hell for the cookie. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Maybe you can buy a mango jamba juice and sugar cookie for someone in need of a mango jamba juice and sugar cookie as restitution.

No matter what you've done, if you are honestly sorry, Jesus will forgive you...as long as you apologize before death. Grace does extend a ways, so if you didn't have time to apologize before your death, he will probably still forgive you. Nothing will ever stop Jesus from loving any person on the Earth.
I know you are probably being sarcastic, but I wasn't.

LOL, of course he still loves you
The question is, is he willing to forgive you for doing it.
The answer lies in whether you truy in your heart repent for what you did.
Anyway, stealing is bad. You also mismanaged your money. If you had money to buy clothes, you had money to buy a drink/food. You chose to go with the clothes instead of the drink/food, but you DID have money so its not like you were completely helpless. Its not like you are homeless or anything... DONT DO IT AGAIN! ;)
