1) Loving Him Supremely
God longs for you to know Him and spend time with Him.
2) Trusting Him Completely
This means having faith that He knows what is best for your life. Expect Him to keep His promises, help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary.
3) Obeying Him Wholeheartedly
This means obeying completely and exactly, without reservation or hesitation. Delayed obedience is really disobedience.
4) Praising And Thanking Him Continually
Praise Him for who He is, and thank Him for what He has done. This brings Him enjoyment and fills our hearts with joy.
5) Using Our Abilities
God enjoys watching every detail of your life. God intentionally gifted us differently for His enjoyment. You don't bring glory or pleasure to God by hiding your abilities or by trying to be someone else.
(Or by trying to turn someone else into YOU.)
