Seek To Please ...
SEEK TO PLEASE Me Above All Else. Let this be your guiding focus throughout the day so that you won't be sidetracked by lesser goals.
You will not be able to achieve success through discipline alone, for this pursuit requires more than your willpower: It is mainly powered by what is in your heart. As your Love for Me grows stronger, so does your desire to please Me. When a man and a woman are deeply in love, they take great delight in pleasing one another. They may spend hours pondering ways to surprise their beloved with unexpected pleasures. Simply anticipating the loved one's happiness is exciting to such a lover. I delight in increasing your Joy: making it complete. The best way to grow in your passion for Me is to increase your awareness of My ardent Love for you.
Whenever you seek to please Me, think about Me as the Lover of your soul: the One who loves you perfectly every nanosecond of your existence. Let your budding desire to please Me flourish in the Light of My unfailing Love.
- Jesus
(Jesus Lives / Sarah Young)
