Do you serve God knowing that He already likes you a lot? Or do you serve Him hoping to somehow please Him? We often get it backwards. How much more joy we’d have, if our serving Him came from a place of joyful acceptance rather than concern that we somehow please Him. Scriptures confirm that God already delights in His children! It also tells us that great things happen when we “delight” in Him too; when we come to really like Him a lot. We can do this by getting to know Him: Read His word. Listen in prayer. Thank Him often, throughout the day. The more we get to know Him, the more we’ll like Him: “Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” – Psalm 37:4
