Rm15

The only man who could have rightly lived living for Himself, chose to live for others! How much more should we, who mostly just have selfish thoughts, choose to live for Him.

Only Jesus was able to put aside His fleshly desires and truly live for the good of others. As a man, He was "tempted in every way" but never gave into sin. Sin ceases opportunity through our fleshly (sinful) desires, and robs us of the joys that God has planned. We all have been robbed. We all have failed! Only Jesus got it right.

Living to please God, means living to please others. Living to please God doesn't mean becoming a "people pleaser", but rather, a person who lives for the best interest of others.  Living to please God means being someone who lives their life without primarily seeking to get what they want. It is a life worth living. It is a life that mostly means dying to self.

Live right today. Even one day is tough.
