#15. Living to Please My Heavenly Father…
When a man’s ways are pleasing to the Lord,
He makes even his enemies live at peace with him.
Proverbs 16:7
This Father’s Day, let’s take a moment to recognize our eternal Father, and remind ourselves of what truly pleases Him. He delights in the faith and obedience of His children. And when He is pleased, He blesses.
