Pleasures on Every Side

(1/3) > >>

Gina:
Pleasures on every side was mentioned by Ray in his email exchange posted today:

Back when I was going to Calvary Chapel, I hoped that one day I'd actually find God pleasurable, but I knew it was impossible for me with the message they were preaching.  I still cannot believe God answered my prayer!

Definition of pleasure: 

pleas·ure  (plzhr)

1. The state or feeling of being pleased or gratified.

2. A source of enjoyment or delight: The graceful skaters were a pleasure to watch. 

3. Amusement, diversion, or worldly enjoyment: "Pleasure . . . is a safer guide than either right or duty" (Samuel Butler). (Well, I don't know about that but I've been wrong before. lol)

4. Sensual gratification or indulgence.

5. One's preference or wish: What is your pleasure?

To give pleasure or enjoyment to; gratify: Our host pleasured us with his company.

That's a relief!  I have a smile stretched from ear to ear.   ;D

Is there a Scripture reference for all the pleasures; as I seem to be experiencing nothing but great tribulation and suffering and have been for some considerable time.

Thanks, Regards, George.

Seems those are more future tense than present tense.
