PLEASING AND SERVING GOD

 

PLEASING AND SERVING GOD!

(Delight in)

 

OUR DREAMS=for ourselves

MIGHT turn out=to be

SOMETHING DIFFERENT=than

What God=has for us

 

We might have DREAMT=to be

Something big=SOME MAJOR SUCCESS

In this world=but our God

HAD OTHER PLANS

 

Regardless=whatever we are doing

WHATEVER our lot=in life is=we should

Delight in

PLEASING AND SERVING GOD!

 

“Just so=your light MUST SHINE

Before others=so that they might see

 

Your good deeds=and GLORIFY

Your heavenly Father”                                                                                                                      Matthew 5:16

 

I didn’t start out=as a

SERVANT OF GOD=but nevertheless

That is

WHAT MY LIFE has become=Trying

To please and SERVE GOD

With my whole life

 

Delighting in=

PLEASING AND SERVING GOD!

 

“By myself=I can do nothing

I judge=only as I hear=and my judgment

Is just

 

For I seek=NOT

TO PLEASE MYSELF=but to him

Who sent me”                                                                                                                             John 5:30

 

“Each of us=SHOULD PLEASE

Our neighbors=for their good

To build them up”                                                                                                                   Romans 15:2

 

I STARTED OUT=

Wanting a family and kids

 

I started out=with a stockbroker’s license=

A real estate license=a life insurance license=and almost

A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER

 

But life happened=my health HAPPENED

And=I have become DEVOTED TO=and to be

A TOTAL SERVANT

Of God and my neighbor

 

“Not so with you=instead whoever

Wants to become great=among you

MUST BE YOUR SERVANT”                                                                                                  Matthew 20:26

 

“Rather=he made himself nothing

By taking the very nature

 

OF A SERVANT=being made

In human likeness”                                                                                                                 Philippians 2:7

 

And so WHATEVER=

You are doing right now=STAY WIDE OPEN

To God’s ONGOING MISSION

For your life

 

He may want you=TO SHINE

Just for him

 

Delight in=PLEASING AND SERVING

The Almighty Father God

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER LOVING=FOREVER LIVING=Holy Father God!
