_{May the Lord smile on you. Numbers 6:25 (NLT) The smile of God is the goal of life.}

_{Since pleasing God is the first purpose of your life, your most important task is to discover how to do that. The Bible says, “Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it” (Ephesians 5:10 MSG).}

_{Fortunately, the Bible gives us a clear example of a life that gives pleasure to God. The man’s name was Noah.}

_{In Noah’s day, the entire world had become morally bankrupt. Everyone lived for their own pleasure, not God’s. God couldn’t find anyone on earth interested in pleasing him, so he was grieved and regretted making man. God became so disgusted with the human race that he considered wiping it out.}

_{But there was one man who made God smile. The Bible says, “Noah was a pleasure to the Lord” (Genesis 6:8 LB).}

_{God said, “This guy brings me pleasure. He makes me smile. I’ll start over with his family.” Because Noah brought pleasure to God, you and I are alive today.}

_{Over the next few days, we will learn from Noah’s life the five acts of worship that make God smile.}

_{God smiles when we love him supremely. Noah loved God more than anything else in the world, even when no one else did! The Bible tells us Noah “consistently followed God’s will and enjoyed a close relationship with him” (Genesis 6:9 NLT).}

_{This is what God wants most from you: a relationship! It’s the most astounding truth in the universe: our Creator wants to fellowship with us. God made you to love you, and he longs for you to love him back. He says, “I don’t want your sacrifices – I want your love; I don’t want your offerings – I want you to know me” (Hosea 6:6 LB).}                                                     

_{Can you sense God’s passion for you in this verse? God deeply loves you and desires your love in return. He longs for you to know him and spend time with him. This is why learning to love God and to be loved by him should be the greatest objective of your life.}

_{Nothing else comes close in importance. Jesus called it the greatest commandment. He said, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment” (Matthew 22:37-38 NIV).  :) Have a Great Day!

Nick, do you ever sleep bro?? LOL  I know you guys up there have a longer day of light then us. Thanks for the love my Canadian friend! :)

My dear Thomas,

Sometimes in the rush of 'life' we forget how much God
loves us, and I thank you for reminding us.

Sometimes in the rush of 'life' we are too busy, frustrated
or just plain cranky to remember that love must be reciprocal
if we are to experience it fully.

Have a great weekend, friend Thomas,

Jen

Yes Jen you are right, it is when we remember why we wake up in the first place because he loves us so much, there is still work for us to do for Him. The work, the way of life, thats your choice as he gave us choices in choosing who we worship but always remember he wants us to find him and if we do we will surely see what the truth is all about. Thanks for the love Jen God_bless you and your family my friend. :)
