Living To Please The Lord

“It is actually freedom to live fully submitted to whatever He says.”

If God’s Word says it, we obey it.

If God speaks, we respond—without delay.

If Jesus gave everything, we give Him first place in our hearts.

We walk in repentance, humility, and awe.

Even when no one is watching, our lives should reflect the holiness of the One we follow.

When we live to please ourselves, we become slaves to our own desires. But when we live to please the Lord, we walk in true liberty—the freedom to live fully alive, fully holy, and fully His.

Let this message shake you. Examine your heart. Are you living to please the Lord or seeking comfort, affirmation, or permission to remain the same? God is holy. And He’s calling us higher.
