Bring Joy to God the Father
Making God, the Father Happy by the Way You Live!
--
His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your Master.’ Matthew 25:23
I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, with all My heart and all My soul. Jeremiah 32:41
These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. John 15:11
You are My friends if you do what I command you. John 15:14
Paul is saying: “the glorious gospel of the happy God.” crosswalk.com
God the Father is at once the Almighty One and your personal Father. One minute God, the Creator of the entire universe. The Creator of all and everything that is seen on earth. Creator of all that is unseen in the Heavenly realm. The next minute He is your loving Father listening and answering all your ardent prayers. Justifying and sanctifying you through Jesus Christ His Son.
His happiness is affected by your obedience to His ways and His desires for you. When you please Him it makes Him glad and He smiles. He is saddened when you stray from His commands and laws. God the Father demands obedience. His heart is gladdened by your love, trust and faith in Jesus.
You cannot regard God the Father as a distant God not involved personally and intimately in your life. You can get the joy of Jesus, God the Son by pleasing the Heavenly Father. It’s both a simple and profound truth that God’s Word, the Holy Bible teaches quite plainly.
What makes God the Father happy? When you love Him with all your heart, soul and mind. Pleasing God the Father is part and parcel of this sincere and genuine love. God and His Holy Spirit will give you the guidance and strength to resist temptation. To walk a life of purity that is righteous in the eyes of God. A life that is pleasing to Him. This will bring a smile to your Heavenly Father’s face. He will indeed be pleased with you.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Matthew 6:15
