Day 08: Planned for God's Pleasure

I was created for a purpose. I am planned for God's pleasure. And it is my purpose to bring enjoyment to him and live for his pleasure. The first premise for these beliefs is that I choose to believe in God. Life is so much about surrendering to the things that we utterly believe in. Consequently, those things are the sources of our worth. A business mogul, for example, would live all his life improving his monetary empire because he feels it is where he finds his value. Likewise, an experienced scientist would try countless experiments and risk numerous discoveries because it's where his significance emanates. They took for themselves the obligation to enhance further their capacities in order to find their worth in this world. But no matter how great or small their contributions may be, I believe every one is inherently valuable. It is up to one, however, to yield to that impeccable belief. Our inherent value rests on the fact that we are created out of our Creator's magnificent love. And it is but just right to return the favor, such love, by seeking the things that brings him pleasure. Perhaps, a simple of act of worship would make us true to this call.
