pleasing God

Thomas Merton writes: “My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.” I can relate to that. So often I feel like I have no idea where I’m going or what I’m to do next. Still, I attempt as best I can to journey daily with God. I hope this pleases the Lord, because that is my heart’s desire.
