Failure or Faith

I feel like I am doing more than ever to maintain a spiritual bond with my Heavenly Father but it is not enough.  I won't ever be doing enough.  Therein lies the humility.  Therein lies the need for him to forgive me for my weakness, depend on Him for strength, trust in Him to make up for what I cannot perfectly do.  
This humility isn't depressing, discouraging or disappointing.  It has the opposite effect.  This humility recognizes what I can give and what Christ can do.  It is motivating, hopeful and full of gratitude. 
The world would call this failure.  The Lord would call this faith.
