We just had the Beatitudes as our Inspire Session for Aspirers recently where we learn that God treasures a beautiful attitude. Ultimately it's obedience to Him and developing a good and right attitude - one that will please the Master.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven,
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted,
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth,
Blessed are those who thirst and hunger after righteousness, for they shall be filled,
Blessed are merciful, for they shall receive mercy,
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God,
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God,
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted,

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God,
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
(Matthew 5:3-11)
These are the standards of Christian living. Have you ever sought to live by them?
There's so much wealth and depth in the Word of God. Many times we read and don't quite understand but when we learn about it, we begin to see things we've never seen before. And when we open our hearts to receive and apply it in our lives, God's word become a reality in our lives. And then 'we shall see God'.
Don't you want to?
