Darren,
It is all in the heart, is it the utmost desire of a man's heart to please God? That pleases Him.
We of ourselves, in the flesh cannot please Him but Christ in us does more and more as we die to the flesh daily by consistantly seeking His will in all things.

Pro 16:7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Loving Him and loving our Brethren, charity, this is the greatest of the fruits of the Spirit.

Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Heb 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
