Pleasing in His sight ...

Hey girls! I hope your week is off to a great start!

Something I wanted to share with you all today is something that is always on my heart, and that is the word pleasing. My deepest desire, though I fail miserably a lot of the time, is that I want to be pleasing unto God. Do you want your life to be pleasing unto God?

Think of someone who is very special to you, a friend or family member. I think we naturally want to do things to please that person, whether it be spending time with them, encouraging them, getting to know them more, praying for them, or simply serving them in some way.
When you think about God, do you have the mindset of desiring to please Him? Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that by doing things such as attending church, service projects, youth group, small groups etc. are what we must do in order to be pleasing to God. Those are all wonderful things that I believe will help strengthen our walk with Him. But to truly be pleasing in His sight is a different kind of meaning. God desires our hearts, our attention, our worship, our repentance, & our whole lives. This is huge.

The first step of pleasing God, is faith. (Go grab your bible!) Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."

Today, my prayer and encouragement for you is that you and I will be pleasing to God.
Psalm 104:34 "May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the Lord."

Have a wonderful week! - Staci
