Offering ourselves- sins and all

What an interesting concept! I always think about offering my work, my best, my virtue to God. If not, then at least my efforts and my best intentions! But Henri Nouwen says:

If we keep waiting until we are "worthy" of God, we will move further, rather than closer to Him. We are called each day to present to the Lord the whole of our lives - our joys as well as sorrows, our successes as well as failures, our hopes as well as fears.

How amazing! I never doubted that God can see all of my life, if He really wanted to, but somehow I think I assumed that He only looked at the best bits and closed His eyes to the rest. Of course this can't be true, since I know that He is with me in the trials as well, and in all my daily activities, but I guess I just thought that He wouldn't be interested in everything. Perhaps He is after all. God always being there in everything I do and say - a new idea for me!
