PLEASING GOD

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Hebrews 11:6 KJV

We can do good deeds and give our money to help others but our Scripture verse tells us that it is impossible to please God without faith.  Are we pleasing God?  We can tell people that we trust God but God can see into our heart and He knows if we really trust Him or if we are just saying the words.

What does God see when He looks into our heart?  Does He see things that make Him happy or does He see things that hurt Him and make Him sad?  God loves us so much that He gave His Son to die on the cross for our sins.  We should do all we can do to make Him happy instead of doing things that hurt Him.

I heard a pastor say in a sermon “When we sit down on a chair, we don’t wonder if the chair will hold us, we just sit down yet we wonder if we can trust God to do what He says He will do.”  May God have mercy on us for hurting Him and breaking His heart.  We have a loving Heavenly Father and we can trust Him.
