Pleasing God


We will never please all the people in our lives.  It’s impossible. (You’ve noticed, right?) This reality helps to remind me that I shouldn’t even try to please all the people in my life.  In fact, the main objective should be to please the One who really matters: God.  Here’s a good prayer for me:  “Lord, I want to do your will. Holy Spirit give me the power to live for you. I want my life to give you pleasure, Lord.”
