Paul wrote it beautifully when he said, "I want to know Christ". This is truer and truer in my life. I always (as much as I can) ask in my life, "How can I please God through this decision or that decision". Reading/studying the Bible has become more intentional with how Christ lived and what he lived out as important.
Jesus commended those who gave everything especially when what they gave was of small significance i.e. bottle of perfume Mt 26:6-13 and tithing woman Mk 6:12-14. Jesus digs those who give all they got in whatever circumstance they are in. I love that about my God; I do not have to impress him with my bank account before he loves me or show off all my achievements for him to accept me. God delights when we give all of what we have to Him. Whether that be strength, energy, time, gasoline (giving rides), food, money, heart, mind, smiles, jokes, conversations, soccer... I could go on. God wants it ALL. Some of it may be small, and I have been running this faith-race understanding more how beautiful it is to give all of my everything over to God.
God knows better what to do with what I have than I do, otherwise, I would be God. It is still confusing how to do everything in God's name but as I read more through John (I am on Ch 2) the more I learn about Jesus and how he did it. John 14:6
Love each bite of Pi
