Our Goal is………

How do I start? My devo took me to 2 Corinthians 5. I said a short prayer, which was all I could muster this morning. 30 seconds I think. I was not feeling very worthy this morning. I have just not been living life very well the last week. The way I think "I" should be living. At least ESPN has not pasted me all over the news for my lack of judgment. You can be rest assured that my sin is not any worse than Josh Hamilton's. Any way back to this morning. I found some old blogs I had printed up in my desk. One of them spoke of me not having a repentive heart and I had asked the Lord to show me what that looked like. At the time I wrote that, I asked that question …. I heard nothing. Today I open up Oswald C. and the front page I had wrote a note that said "the words of the Lord hurt and offend sometimes" That made me wonder. Then I get to 2 Cor. 5:9
so whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him.
.When I read this passage I just felt an overwhelming hurt in my spirit. What I heard ……….what I felt, I am not pleasing Him by the bad choices I have been making. When I realized the ramifications of what I had just heard it just broke me to tears … sobbing is more of the term I am looking for. I had a repentive heart and I prayed and repented. Thank you Jesus. I can remember over the last seven days I have chosen not to be in the word. This morning as I was driven to the store to get my sugar/caffeine fix I remember thinking "draw near to Him and He will draw near to you" So I purposed myself this morning and it was good. My Father loves me in spite of me
