“You can’t have lasting purpose and you can’t enjoy life unless you have a personal relationship with God, Who is the Giver of life and purpose and satisfaction and every good gift. You can’t have joy unless you please Him. How do we please God? Very simple: We please God by having faith in Him. By believing Him. Not just believing in Him, that He exists and maybe did some things in the past. The Teacher even had that level of belief. But by believing Him now, actively. Believing His prescriptions. Believing His directions. Believing He has a plan for our lives, and following Him to discover it.”
