I TRIED
Today's reading: Psalm 6-8

"End the wickedness of the ungodly, but help all those who obey you. For you look deep within the mind and heart, O righteous God." Psalm 7:9 NLT

I don't always say the right thing.

I don't always keep quiet at the appropriate time.

I don't always do what my well-intentioned heart tells me.

I'm not always on time--with what I do and with that I say.

I don't always allot time well.

I don't always keep my true feelings off my face and out of the matter at hand.

I don't always refrain from rolling my eyes or allowing my body language to tell all I'm thinking.

I don't always...but I try.

I try to act upon the godliness God placed in my heart at my salvation.

I attempt to obey His perfect will.

I really and truly want to please Him in all I say and do.

So, I'm glad, deeply and wholly glad, that God looks deep into our hearts and minds to see our best intentions.

Not our mistakes.

Not our screw-ups.

Not our sins of omission.

He looks at His dear child and says, Well, she tried.
