As the Proverb says, I think my plans are great.
God, on the other hand... may not always approve. God also knows the roots of our hearts and the meaning behind our actions. This is what Jesus is referring to when he is pressing in on the commandments, always raising the bar and demanding more obedience, more love, more pure grace. We can't ever live up to this, but Jesus is pushing us, pulling us, in this direction, urging us to consider every thought and every action completely captive to God.
The more we can commit everything to God, the more we grow in faith, understanding that it's all a gift and all an offering that we give back to God.
