PDL - Day 8

Psalm 149:4 "The Lord takes pleasure in his people."
DAY 8 - Planned for God's Pleasure


Bringing enjoyment to God, living for his pleasure, is the first purpose of your life. You exist for his benefit, his glory, his purpose, and his delight. When you finally realize this truth, you will never again have a problem with feeling insignificant. Bringing pleasure to God is called 'worship' Anything you do that brings pleasure to God is an act of worship. Worship is a lifestyle. It is far more than music. EVERY part of a church service is an act of worship. It also has nothing to do with a particular style, volume, or speed of a song. Worship is not for your benefit. We worship for God's benefit. God's heart is not touched by tradition in worship, but by passion and commitment. Worship is not a part of your life. IT IS YOUR LIFE. This is the secret to a lifestyle of worship -- doing everything as if you were doing it for Jesus. Falling in love with Jesus--- This is what real worship all about.

Isn't it just flattering to know that we are made for God's pleasure? That we are placed here on Earth to bring joy to Him? Personally, I admit to the fact that I sometimes live as if I am living it for the approval of the people around me. For their pleasure. But it is so difficult to live like that. You can not please everybody. You can't leave them fully satisfied. It all makes sense now. We are not here on Earth for that reasons! I will work hard to do everything as if I am doing it directly for Jesus. So help me God. :)

MARIEL!

HAHA whaT mariel means by urban dictionary XD SUPER LOL A girl that is very spontaneous that always has some amazing advise to give. She'll always be there even if she has something better to do. Basically the best person you can meet in life. =] also, very talented. "Dangggggg that Mariel girl has got it going on!!!" Not, as said by other people, a slut, but in fact a highly intelligent, sarcastic, virgin. They frequently sigh at the stupidity that they are surrounded with Jazz: I dont dress slutty, i get all A's, AND my IQ is 120 Ho: Psshaw! Your SUCH a Mariel. Im going to go have sex with 10 diffrent guys then fail all my tests and repeat the grade! A dumbass who has no idea what is going on around her (or him but that would be weird) Mariel thought there was fifty-one states yesterday, so i slapped her and she shut up.

BOOM!

mY 4th yr project in values.. as i remember it.. our teacher asked us to choose which philosophy is best applied in our lives.. and this is how i did it! :)) --- HAHAHA ANG HABA PALA XD --- I, my self, prefer to be more of a realist. Realism is seeing things as what they truly are. It is not wrong to dream and to create a vision of what you want to be or how things you want to be in the future but being able to see the true value of a certain object is, to what I believe, is a blessing. I once read in a book, though it is only in the writer’s opinion, it says that when you die you will not actually go to this “paradise” but instead God will give you the chance for Him to explain your life and that will be the greatest gift you can ever receive. I believe in that. That being able to see the real meaning why you have met this certain someone, experienced this certain situation and felt those certain feelings will be the best reward one can ever receive. Through realism, we can achieve th
