In the book of Psalms we read,
"Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting".
No one is perfect. We all fall short of Gods ideals for our life. In the book of Romans we read,
"for all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God,"
Sin is falling short of Gods ideal for our lives. That being said we need from time to time spend some time alone with God and ask God to search our hearts and show us something that may be offensive to God. After which we need to repent and ask Gods forgiveness.
The apostle Paul writing,
"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
“As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" Romans 10:9-13.
Will you take sometime today to be alone with God asking him to show you were you may have fallen short of what he wants for your life.
Please think about it.
