How would we rank the state of our spiritual life on a scale of 1 to 10? Even while we may want to please Him, our efforts fall short, our motivations are frequently self-serving, and our loyalty is in doubt. No matter what we try, we always come so short.
Maybe the following ideas will inspire you: Remember first what God thinks of us. We are fully pardoned and perfect in His eyes because of the work that Christ accomplished on the cross.
Then again, there is the current love and faith we have for Christ. Maybe we think of ourselves as a pitiful "1." However, if we have the appropriate mindset, we can still please God. He demands the correct attitude of heart even though He knows we are incapable of perfect performance. Jesus did not utter the words, "Blessed are those who realize their potential and never err." "Blessed are the poor in spirit,... those who mourn,... the meek," he declared. We may have just messed up our lives, and there may a painful price to pay, but if we repent and sincerely confess our sin, we can still win the favor of the Lord.
