Are you saying we should live to please ourselves? I assume you accidently wrote that wrong.
I am not God...but am an adopted child of God. So God is included in others. Not only that...but in as much as you've done it not unto one of the least of these His brethren (and mine)...you've done it not unto Him.
I suppose we should start with widows and orphans...and keeping ourselves unspotted from the world.
He adopted us into unity, equality, and the commonwealth...we should spread the example to honor and please our only true Father.

I will share something that may be a secret to some...
For most...it is better to ask questions and keep the mouth closed most of the time...
Unless you know...cause we speak that which we know and testify that we have seen.
James 1:18-20New King James Version (NKJV)
18*Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
Qualities Needed in Trials
19*So then,[a] my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 20*for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

You know early in my faith I asked God something, I have no idea where these words came from in my mind but I asked to him to show me the deep and hidden secrets of his heart and of the kingdom of God. I wanted to know everything about him I wanted to know what it really means to be a Christian I wanted it all I had and still have a very greedy and hungry heart for him. I then said what must I do to obtain this? The words seek love and seek my heart above all else and i will show you the deep and hidden secrets of my heart.
That day I took on the title a seeker of God's own heart and nothing has ever been the same, I have seen and learned things you wouldn't believe such beauty and wonder that his heart holds

It is true that the Holy Spirit's role in bring us into all truth is an extended process.

2 Pe 1:16-21
16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
KJV

The truth is only hidden from those who are blinded, and you are only blinded if you harden your heart from the truth. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not. Don't be as those the seed falls on the wayside who are inspired by others to walk away from the truth, nor those the seed on stony grounds received by those who believe the truth for only a time, nor those the seed on the thorny grounds which is received by those who are full of doubting that overtakes the truth being said for them to believe in their lies of doubt, but be the one who is open to receive, eager to hear, thirsty and hungry for the truth of God, the good ground.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and
the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

I use the phrase, hidden in plain sight. In other words, something you see is the image of something spiritual (unseen). But to simply state that it is hidden might suggest you are the one to come to for the answer; might be an error on your part. Jesus said, "Follow Me" It is through Him that I came to understand things I wasn't able to 'see' before. I need to correct something myself.
Yep, Truth is found in the Person of Jesus the Christ, God manifest in the flesh, this revealed to the Person thru the Work of the Parclete, the Spirit of Truth. He is the Way the Truth and the Life.. He has hidden Truths, that He reveals to His Own as they walk with Him, as they 'can bear it'.. Just like He wanted to tell His Disciples when He was here the 1st time.. 'I have much to tell you now,' but ye cannot bear it'.. but they would Later as He revealed those Truths to them after He Ascended and He was glorified, this done thru the Paraclete that was Sent, so that He would not leave His Own alone or abandoned... inded!
