A Simple Way To Please God

The beauty of being created in the image and likeness of God, is knowing that God takes pleasure in us just for who we are. It’s not about working harder, smarter or at all - it is about simply being who God made us to be. But, for those of us that have a hard time just settling in to the fact that God is pleased with us just for who we are, there is one simple thing you can do to please Him:

…the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love. - Psalm 147:11

It gives God pleasure when we expect to be loved by him. Read that again. This kind of expectation cuts anxiety and fear off at the knees. We can expect God’s love and that is really pleasing to Him. Try it and let me know how it feels.
