For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him (Philippians 2:13)

Do you make it a priority to live a life that is pleasing to God?

When you become a believer, God begins working in you. He changes your desires from self-seeking to God-seeking. When you make a wrong choice or do something that displeases Him, most times, you know it immediately. There is uneasiness on the inside of you. You might even feel a little sick to your stomach. That’s because the desire to please God is built into you. That’s the Spirit’s gentle conviction that keeps us on the right path.

But notice He didn’t just give you the desire to please Him; He gave you the power to please Him, too. He didn’t just call you; He equipped you! Follow that inner prompting so that your actions will line up with your heart’s desires. And remember, even when you make a mistake, even when you have a setback, God is ready for you to return to Him. He loves you so much, and He wants the best for you. He wants to continue growing spiritually God says in the Bible that His plans and purposes for your life are wonderful. And nothing can stop the Almighty God from accomplishing great things in and through you!
