Are you trying to please God by your church attendance? By your daily devotions? What about studying the Bible to formulate the right interpretations? How about your prayer life, do you feel like you never can pray enough? Are you really in love with God or are you in love with the idea of loving God? Do you fast out of obligation or to draw upon the spirit of God?
All of these spiritual disciplines are great to practice and implement in one's life, but we can fool ourselves and others by thinking we are doing these practices for the right reasons.
Do not fool yourself. One cannot please God out of one's practices. There is a difference in loving God and loving the idea of loving God. He knows the difference. Do you know the difference?
