I wasn't sure what I would write about tonight until I just sat down.
I've been going through a period lately where it seems very apparent to me just how rotten I am. My thoughts seem bitter and nasty, my attitude seems bad, and I find myself growing easily distrustful of The Lord and what He wants for me. I asked God in prayer to give me a humble heart, and I realize that it means having to confront and turn from bad attitudes that may linger in me and seek forgiveness from The Lord.
My dad has told me that he looks forward to being with The Lord in heaven because it means he will finally be rid of the sins that trouble him. It wasn't until I thought about it later, but I can't wait for that, either.
I admit that sometimes I have found the prospect of being with The Lord in heaven daunting because of the sins that trouble me. I know that Satan is trying to discourage me and lead me into distrusting God. The Lord has forgiven all my sins, and when I dwell in His presence, it will be in the total absence of sin. I need to be continually reminded of The Lord's goodness to me and to every believer.
