For God’s pleasure
What common task could I start doing as if I were doing it directly for Jesus?
The Purpose Driven Life, p. 68
I wake up earlier than Yantie, around 7:30am. This means from the time I open my eyes and arriving at work, I have no one to talk to. Sometimes I feel lonely. This is what I imagine God will feel if none of His creation wants to talk to Him. God wants me to talk Him, so I always try to say a little prayer after I opened my eyes. It’s not a long prayer, but it’s a way for me to connect with God and start off my “worship” session. Psalms 105:4 (NIV) said,
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
He is the source of my strength when the world fails me. He is the comforter, through His grace and compassion. I love Jesus with all of my heart, for it gives Him pleasure.
Oh my! How this devotional reached out to me. It is easy to forget that we can talk to God when nobody else is around (or seems to care). Thank you for this reminder! If nothing else, we can acknowledge God’s goodness by saying, “Good Morning, Lord.”
