When you were young, do you remember how your parents would encourage you to “Do your best” when you had a big test or performance or ball game? You may have also heard the quote “Do your best, and let God take care of the rest.” What if your best isn’t looking so hot? What do you do then? Is God looking for our best, or is He looking for us? What about effort…does it count for anything?
Romans 12:1 urges us to “…present our bodies a living a holy sacrifice, acceptable and well-pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.”
What do we do when what we have to present to God is not a beautifully-wrapped gift tied in a crisp gold bow? What if we are broken and bleeding on the inside and what we have to present to God is wrapped in tattered cloths, stained with our tears? What if that is our best? Is it enough?
