“I’m proud of you.” This is a sentiment that many of us can say we all love to hear. Navigating this life can be difficult at times and we wonder if we’re navigating it right. So, when we hear those words it’s like a reminder that our efforts matter and we’re on the right track. There are times where we make mistakes. Though it is what we do after making them, that can help us grow for the better. When we do, do well, it is nice to hear it. Though it brings my heart joy to hear it from people, there is One who I want to hear it from the most; God. I make mistakes at times, and I will be forever growing into being the person that God has created me to be. I want to live a life that makes God proud. I want to honor Him with my actions and the way that I live my life and live it for Him. Friend, I like to think you share these same sentiments. May we all live a life that brings God glory. May we live a God-pleasing life.

1 Thessalonians 4:1 NIV

As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.
