Pleasing God.
Renewed community, seeking security in the Lord’s favor together, pleases Him. Right sacrifices mean committing our hearts to God and fellowshipping with Him and other believers. Joy radiates from heaven when we gather together as one body, seeking and glorifying God with our hearts, minds, bodies, and souls.
Transformation begins with the heart. Cleansing and purifying it comes with repentance, drawing us into a personal relationship with Christ that flows outwardly to others. The more intimate we become with Jesus, the more we want to share what we have found, and the bigger God smiles. Feeling the Lord’s pleasure lights our souls brighter than the sun on its brightest day, drawing people to us and giving us the chance to share Christ with them.
Join a community and chase God together. Find a gospel-preaching church and surround yourself with a cloud of witnesses to help spur you on the journey. Please God with a heart set on Him and a network of Christ’s followers on the same path. Living righteously together brings joy not only to the Lord but also to the entire body.
Jesus, the path to living righteously with Him and others, commissioned us to share the good news with the world. By obeying the Great Commandment to love God and others, we do that one person at a time. Live abundantly in Jesus’s love, share it with others, and find joy and peace in the Lord.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for creating us with a shared mission. Draw us closer to each other as we seek You, striving to obey Your commands. Bring joy and peace into our lives as we please You. Let us shine brightly for the world to see, building Your kingdom and living life abundantly. IJNIP. Amen
