Pleasing God

All I've ever wanted is to please God, not only to avoid punishment, but to simply bring Him joy. I thought this meant figuring out the one thing he want me to do with my life and pursuing it whole heartedly without fear. Talk about putting pressure on myself. Even if this were possible, it would not be pleasing to Him at all because without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith means that I should be seeking Him not just the work He has for me. Oh, He does want me to bear fruit, but I can't even begin to do this without abiding in Him.

And without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. - Hebrews 11:6

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. - John 15:4

By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. - John 15:8

First comes faith then fruit.
