Take a peek in my journal entry for this morning. I love the idea that we can make God smile as He is pleased with us. Every now and then I share some pages and words from my journal. Please know these are just real and raw thoughts which are unedited and not scrubbed to look pretty.
Ultimately it does not matter whether we are here or gone; our purpose stays fixed, and that is to please Him. {2 Corinthians 5:9 THE VOICE}
This is my daily goal, Lord, to please You. I can't go do this if I'm left up to my own devices for I will fail You. But, I pray that Your Holy Spirit will flood my heart, flood my mind and influence my actions so that will make You smile upon me, Lord.
Help me to not attempt to just be the "good girl" today because it is the right thing to do. Rather, help me to desire Your smile deep down in my heart because pleasing You is what I'm made to do. It is what satisfies my soul.
I know there will be days where I will not please You, I will go astray and disobey you. May those days be few and far between as I choose to make you smile.
I look forward to the day where we will sit face to face and recount all of the smiles.
Is it ever your goal to make God smile? Take some time to touch base with Jesus today...
