When we understand...

...that we were given life to please the heart of God and not our own hearts, we understand the very meaning of life itself. Since God is without sin and loves with purest love, He has the very best interest of His creation in His heart when He calls us to live for Him. When we live for the pleasure of His heart, we place ourselves under His protective custody and authority. To live for His pleasure is to be in the safest place we can be. To live for His pleasure becomes then not a heavy burden to bear but an endeavor of greatest delight.

2 Corinthians 5:15 - "He died for all, that they who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf."
