In almost everything that teaches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we’re pleased.  He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker’s praise without anxiety.

From Isaiah 43:1-2:  “But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel:  Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine.  When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.“
