God;s Pleasure

Eric Liddell was a missionary to China, but he was also a competitive runner. He competed as an athlete before going to the mission field. Some close to him discouraged him from running, but he said he felt my pleasure when he ran. You may not be a world-class athlete, but is there anything you do that makes you aware of my pleasure? If nothing comes to mind then perhaps you should look more closely. I distribute talents to all, and I take pleasure in those who use them. This is not limited to the few things that may first come to mind for you. I want your eyes to be open to the spiritual reality that surrounds you that you may be aware of my pleasure and deliberately give me glory with joy and gratitude.
