Daily devotions

Scripture reading:

But we are all as unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth upon himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
But now, O Lord, thou art father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

-Isaiah 64: 6-8 (Holy Bible)
Sincerely Wrong
When I was young, I used to believe that when I follow the command of my parents and doing good works will send me to heaven. But I was wrong with that. It is clearly stated that doing things with sincerity is not accepted as the right thing to do. People who excuses themselves with good works and not accepting God’s son, Jesus Christ, we’re compared to filthy rags.
It’s like you took the wrong medicine pill, but you were sincere when you took that one. You thought it would make you feel better and would ease the pain that you feel. But to think of it, you just made yourself more ill. You need to take the proper medicine to cure yourself. And it’s like accepting Jesus Christ as the medicine pill (as your everything above anything) in your life.
I know a lot of people who are like that, and I never wanted to be them.
