please God

To please God…this is what I want to do. It sounds so easy, yet it’s so hard sometimes isn’t it? God makes things clear for us if we ask Him to. He promises to lead, guide, and strengthen us. The problem comes with who we are and our sinful nature. As a dedicated follower of Christ myself, I have learned that being a Christian doesn’t mean being perfect…it means…surrendering your life to Christ and striving to be who He wants you to be in all things, even when it’s hard. I’ve learned that I am not perfect, and I do still sin far too often. But I’ve also learned that when I do sin, I don’t like it…maybe at the moment it seems all good, but after I’ve went and gossiped about that person I don’t like very much, or complained about my job to everyone I could possibly complain to…It doesn’t make things any better in the long run. So why do I do it? It’s pretty stupid, isn’t it? But you know what…I’ve learned something else too…I’ve learned that no matter how many times I fall (even though I don’t want too…it’s inevitable because I’m human) God is there waiting to pick me back up and forgive me of my sins yet again…no matter how often He needs to. And the more I realize how much God loves me (which is obvious for the fact that He died for me to forgive me of my sins)...the more I love Him and want to be who He wants me to be. That truly is what I want to do…please God. God give me strength, I pray, to do your will.
