Meaningful Life, Pleasing God

Have you ever thought of pleasing God, at least during this present life? How? When? What did you do? Who benefited? But for how long? Did it change your life? What about now, are you still in that "pleasing God mode"?

Precisely.

There have been many times that you and anyone else, are in that mode. That's good and as much as possible, think of ways and moments when you can sustain it. Of course, these will be situations in-between that could intervene and disrupt your spiritual communion with God, either while working, enjoying your family time, reading a book or just alone by yourself.

So they say, these interruptions are normal. Really? Since when? Do you consider vices, excessive vanities and greed as parts of one's life? But then, during which time, what do you do? Are you enjoying that moment? In which case, it is obvious that you have renege in your promise or commitment to please God.

Then you start all over again.

What do you do when it's going to pain? You get hold of umbrella. What do you do if you need to sign something? You look for a pen. What do you do if you are hungry? You get some food and eat.

What about when you are tempted?

How do you please God? So that you can go on and deserve enjoying a meaningful life.

Pray.

It's free, its easy, and can be done at any time, any place and any situation.

Of course, prayer has to be coupled with works. With positive action.
