What do we need to do

It funny how often time, the answer is so simply that it confuses the wise.
For the bible tells you and I that they way to heaven is simple.
Yet most of us miss the mark, because we try to contemplate God.
We must trust that God is who he said he is.
But without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.  You may be working yourself to a frazzle trying to be perfect so you can please God.  You may have tried so hard and become so frustrated that you are about ready to give up. Well, maybe you should quit trying to be perfect on your own -- because none of us will ever be perfect through our own efforts, anyway.  God knows you are human. He does not expect perfection out of you. If you were perfect you would not even need a Saviour.  God loves you and accepts you because He made you. And He is able to make you into what He desires for you to be -- if you will trust Him and allow Him to work in you.  God wants you to trust Him. He wants your love and respect. He has certainly earned it and deserves it. Don't let the devil keep you from giving to God what He really desires: your love and faith.  What does God desire from you? Not perfect performance -- but total trust. God wants you to believe that He is good -- a rewarder!
