5 Attitudes that please God. How to attract God's blessing.

[Mark1980]

All those who seek greater intimacy with God must be wondering what our Creator really likes. What attitudes and behaviors catch His eye and make God's heart glow with joy? In search of the answer to this question, we delve into the depths of our spirituality and knowledge of the Divine Character.
God, who created us and knows us better than we know ourselves, does not require spectacular deeds or great sacrifices from us to please Him. He does not expect more from us than we are able to do. It should be noted that we are not called to suffer constantly or to give up our joys and desires. God, as the perfect Father, desires our happiness and fullness of life.
He Himself created us with a desire for joy, love and fulfillment. God's favor does not depend on our outward achievement or perfection. On the contrary, God is interested in our interior, our intentions and authenticity. In today's video, we will present five attitudes that please the Heart of God and make us attract his blessing.


Number one, Faith. First, to please God, faith is necessary. As the Letter to the Hebrews says: "Without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever comes to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him." This biblical wisdom shows us the importance of having and developing our faith. By faith, as a gift from God, we become able to transcend the visible world and enter into the realm of the spiritual realm. In the Bible we can find many examples of people who put their faith in God and were blessed by Him. Abraham, the father of faith believed God, even when what he expected seemed impossible.
Moses, leading the Israelites through the desert, relied on God's guidance, even though he faced many difficulties. Like these biblical heroes, our faith consists in trusting God and His promises. This is the belief that God is faithful and strong, that his plans are perfect, even if we sometimes do not fully understand them.Faith also means going beyond the limits of your own reason and trusting God regardless of the circumstances. It is an attitude that puts our lives in God's hands, accepting His will and guiding our ways. When our faith is strong, God can work in amazing ways in our lives.
Jesus Christ repeatedly emphasized the power of faith and encouraged his disciples to entrust themselves to God. He said, "If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Uproot yourself and plant yourself in the sea,' and it would obey you." in his letter, "Faith without works is dead. Our faith should be manifested in acts of love, service and justice towards others. When faith permeates our lives, we become witnesses of God's presence and action. Our faith is made alive by the Holy Spirit, who
strengthens us in times of trial, gives us courage and the conviction that God is with us. May our faith be the fruit of prayer, study of God's Word and contemplation of His presence. May it be alive and practical, transforming our lives and affecting our relationships with others. God wants so that we develop our faith and become His witnesses in the world.May our attitude of faith bring glory to God and build our bond with Him, filling our hearts with hope, peace and strength to change.


Number two, Desire to fix what is wrong in our lives their desire to change for the better. Among the mysteries of life there is a strong desire that beats in our hearts. This desire to correct, the desire to change what is wrong in our lives, is the second attitude that pleases God. It is a voice that calls for transformation, reconstruction and striving for a better tomorrow. This desire is like a spark that ignites in us when we look at our lives from the perspective of truth. Sometimes we see the areas where we have failed, the moments that let us down, the habits that limit us.
But it is in these moments that we see the potential to change, to become better versions of ourselves. We are not doomed to stagnation or to repeating the same mistakes. God sees our willingness to change, to grow spiritually, and to discover our true calling. He wants us to become renewed people who radiate His love and wisdom. The desire to improve does not mean that God requires us to be perfect. He knows us perfectly and understands our human limitations. But in our desire to change for the better, in our desire to develop, there is God's grace and His power working in our lives.
God does not require great sacrifices or spectacular achievements from us. He enjoys our small steps towards transformation. It is our determination, our willingness to make an effort to repair and improve our character, attitudes or relationships, that pleases God. As we place our desire for correction in His hands, He guides and sustains us. His wisdom and grace are available to us to help us transform our lives. We are called to work with God to achieve what we cannot achieve on our own.
So let our desire to fix become the engine of our spiritual journey. May it lead us to greater conformity to His will. May He give us the strength to overcome obstacles, overcome our weaknesses, and move forward with faith in His promises. The desire to correct is an expression of our faith, our hope, and our love for God. Let this desire be our guide on the way to a better life, to growth and experience the fullness of His blessings.


Number Three, Fighting Sin. As we grow spiritually and draw closer to God, the third attitude that pleases God is to fight against sin. Sin is like a shadow that covers our hearts and distances us from God's presence. But in our desire for salvation, in our striving for holiness, God finds joy and contentment. Fighting sin requires courage and determination. It is not an easy task, but when we face our weaknesses and mistakes, when we recognize sin as an obstacle to true life, we become participants in God's fight for our salvation. God does not expect us to fight sin alone. His grace and power are available to us to cooperate with him.
This is a battle that takes place on a spiritual level, with the help of the Holy Spirit who guides and strengthens us in our spiritual battle. Fighting sin means rejecting our sinful desires and habits, replacing them with Godly values and attitudes. It is a process of purifying our heart, renewing our mind, and strengthening our will to follow God's commandments. In this fight we must be aware that sin has many faces. It can be greed, pride, envy, hatred, or anything else that distances us from loving God and our neighbor.
We must be willing to acknowledge our sinful tendencies and take steps to combat them. But the fight against sin is not only a negative aspect of our spiritual life. It is also an expression of our love for God and our desire to live in accordance with His will. This is an expression of our striving for holiness, to be an image of His love and grace in the world. God does not require us to be perfect in this fight. He knows our weaknesses, he is full of mercy and always ready to forgive. But He also expects us to fight sin with full commitment and determination.
God sees our determination and the difficulties we face and is present in our struggle. So let's take this attitude of fighting sin with courage and faith. Let it be our response to God's invitation to salvation and holiness. Let our fight against sin become a source of spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with God. May it bear fruit of goodness and transform our lives for the better.

 

[Mark1980]

Number four, Desire to walk with God every day. The fourth attitude that deeply pleases God is the desire to walk with Him every day. It is the longing for His presence, for an intimate relationship and for the guidance of His Holy Spirit in our daily lives. The desire to walk with God means that our hearts desire not only to know God theoretically, but also to His closeness and fellowship. It is this desire that impels us to seek His presence through prayer, reading the Word of God and contemplation. When we desire to walk with God every day, we become aware that our relationship with Him is not just tied to specific events or circumstances, but is constantly with us every day.His presence becomes the foundation on which we build our daily decisions, attitudes and relationships. Walking with God also means trusting and giving our way to Him. It is knowing that we don't have to go through the difficulties and challenges of life alone, but we can rely on His wisdom, guidance and grace. It is living our life as a pilgrimage in His presence. In our desire to be close to God, we discover that His love is deep and unchanging. Regardless of our sins, regardless of our weaknesses, He wants to be with us and lead us to the fullness of life. May our desire to be close to God every day be a source of joy and comfort in our daily activities.May it become the driving force of our spiritual journey, which leads us to a greater rapprochement with God and to discovering His plan for our lives. The desire to walk with God every day opens up immeasurable opportunities for spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with Him. Let this desire become our constant companion and lead us to the fullness that God has prepared for us.


Number 5, Helping others in their needs and sufferings. The fifth attitude that deeply pleases God is the willingness to help others in their needs and sufferings. It is an attitude that reflects the teaching and example of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was the personification of mercy and service. His life was full of wonderful deeds and expressions of concern for the suffering, the poor and the abandoned. He not only taught about neighborly love, but also embodied this love in his life and actions. When we desire to help others, we follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. We become His instruments, spreading His love and mercy in the world.Our hearts are filled with the same values that guided Jesus - compassion, empathy, kindness and self-sacrifice. Helping others is a way for us to imitate Jesus Christ. He himself said, "Whatever you did to one of these least brothers of mine, you did to me." Our attitude of service is an expression of our love for Jesus and our desire to give our lives to Him. Jesus Christ is our greatest role model and guide in helping others. His unconditional love, humility and sacrifice are our inspiration and strength to overcome difficulties and exceed our own limitations.It is His grace that works in us, enabling us to become close to those who need our help. When we help others, we not only fulfill God's will, but we also experience His presence in our lives. This is when Jesus Christ works through us, touching hearts and transforming our lives. Our actions become His gifts to those we meet. Let our attitude of helping others become an integral part of our imitation Jesus Christ, let His love and mercy flow through our hands and words, let our hearts become an oasis of hope for those who suffer and need support.Helping others brings joy, satisfaction, and spiritual growth. Let it be our strong attitude, which not only brings relief and support, but also proclaims Jesus Christ and His saving love. Let our actions testify to our faith and transform our lives so that we become hopeful and loving for others as Jesus is for us
