What Does Jesus Like?

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:1-2

I prefer chocolate ice cream. Of course, I can eat other flavors, but if I have a choice I go for chocolate! You don’t have to be around me very long to learn that I like chocolate ice cream.

Have you been with Jesus long enough to know what flavor ice cream He likes? That is a silly question. Jesus probably never had ice cream at all, and as far as chocolate is concerned there is no mention of it in the Bible. But do you know what Jesus desires for your life?

The more time you spend with another person, the better you know what that person desires. It is not rocket science! The more time you spend with Jesus, the better you know His will in everything.

When you give your body to Him and let your mind be renewed and thus fundamentally transformed, you will begin to clearly see the will of God in everything around you.

The opposite is also true. When I do not give my body to Jesus and let my mind focus on fulfilling the lusts of the flesh, then I am blind to God’s will.

“Lord, today I offer again my body to be sacrificed for your purposes. I also choose to renew my mind and be transformed by thinking on the things that are pure and holy. Let me today see and prove Your Will!”
