SEEKING TO PLEASE ME IS A joyous way to live. Of course, without faith it is impossible to please Me. You must really believe that I exist and that I reward those who earnestly seek Me.
Living to please Me is a wise investment - not only for rewards in heaven but also for daily pleasure on earth. I am meant to be the Center of your existence, the Sun around which you orbit. When you live this way - enjoying Me, serving Me, desiring to please Me - you stay in your proper orbit. When you live in a self - centered way, you go off course.
The challenge is to keep Me central in what you do, say, and think. This battle begins in your mind, so work on taking captive every thought to make it obedient to Me. Study My Word to find out what pleases Me, and remember how wonderfully well I love you. Awareness of My amazing Love will help you stay in orbit around the Son - enjoying the radiant pleasures of My Presence.
