*Feeling Good About Ourselves Part 2

Greetings again !

Today I'm writing the 2nd part of this topic. It's my desire to share with you all a more in depth lesson on how we can serve one master and feel good about ourselves. I choose to serve God. I choose to not serve Satan.

Pleasing God is both difficult and not difficult at the same time. Being obedient to the Word and Authority of God is sometimes easy and sometimes hard depending on the situation and our heart. The heart is what God looks at.

In order for us to feel good about ourselves, we need to understand what is given to us in the Holy Scriptures and how to apply it. Let's take children for example. Children don't have a worldly understanding and most children seem to look, see, seek and find the good, the positive. Children keep things simple. A smile from their faces and the words I love you touch moms and dads more than money can buy.

Jesus desires that we all come to Him like children. I understand that as we get older, move out from mom and dads, possibly marriage and a family, house, car and etc..., life becomes different. Bills and more bills seem to add up, schools for the kids, student loans still lingering. It never ends. However, no matter what choices we make that allow this lifestyle, there is no excuse for us to not give time to God. No calender or schedule we put upon ourselves should come before God.

Did you ever hear your child say to you, "Sorry mom (dad), but I don't have time to spend with you today because I'm so busy. But tomorrow looks good after 11 am" ? Of course not. Their lifestyles are simpler because of common sense. Their agenda, their time and their choices are simpler, more easy going and easier. Our children need us to help teach them how to take care of themselves as they get older. To help them until they have learned as much as we can give them to prepare them for the outside world.

Our children are never too busy for us and neither should we ever be too busy for God. Now think a moment. What does your child/children say or do that pleases you and makes you happy? Take a few.

What was that you said? When they obey you? When they apply their time in school and achieve good grades? When they treat others politely and show respect? When out of no where they say they love you?

Let's translate now.
When they obey you - Do you obey God?
When they apply their time in school and achieve good grades - Do you study the Bible?
When they treat others politely and show respect - Do you do that?
When out of no where they say they love you - God says that to you everyday. Ever say it back?

Now do you see just how easy it is to make God happy, please Him and in addition, you feel good about yourself? You need to unlearn what you have learned here in this world and just come to the Father like a child. You're His Child, now act like one. Love Him. Cherish your time with Him. Worship Him. Put aside your worldly choices that created your calender and just give Him thanks. Talk to Him. Literally, too. God adores when we pray out loud to Him. You don't have to scream because He is everywhere *chuckles*. But, talk to Him. Laugh with Him. Read the Bible. Love others as you love yourself.

Children's hearts desire to make us happy, to please us. They're happy when we're happy. They know what makes us happy. It doesn't take much for them to do to make us smile. Is it any different with God? You're His Child. Now that you know how to make Him Happy, will you do it?

We'll talk more about this topic soon *Smiles*

In Christ,
Frankee

P.S. Remember, Once a mom (dad), always a mom (dad). Do you think God is any different with you?
