Find out what pleases the Lord.
This verse is a breath of fresh air for those who struggle with perfectionism for it opens the door to a life that is void of legalistic tendencies of carefully calculating what action or words would be just the correct ones to do or say. Rather, it paints for us a most freeing and vibrant picture of a child who is given the latitude to approach his day with a care-free spirit while intimately knowing his heart-felt desire to please his daddy.
You say that this is not easy given your circumstances?
Then I would say to you, Cheer up O Christian, and realize Our Heavenly Father knows all of these concerns and has not abandoned you. Rather, He has graciously and mercifully paved the way for you too know His love for you more fully not in spite of all your concerns but because of all those concerns. Nothing is wasted in our Father’s Economy.
Therefore, in closing, as this truth grips your heart may you experience a new found freedom in living for our Lord
