Matthew 5:16 - "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Friends, have you ever been amazed by a statue or an art piece? Maybe it was crafted with high-quality materials, sculpted with precision, or conveyed a powerful message. Such a masterpiece likely made you wonder about the creator behind it, admiring their genius and creativity. Similarly, Genesis 1:27 teaches us that we are created in the image of God. Your life is meant to glorify God, just like that awe-inspiring artwork. When others see you, what do they notice? - Do they see you acting honorably and lovingly, representing God's character, or do they find you acting impulsively and treating others unfavorably? - Are you focused on eternal values and the promises of God, or are you consumed with accumulating earthly possessions? - In times of suffering, do you maintain your faith and become a powerful witness to God's justice, or do you harbor bitterness towards the life God has given you? - When under pressure, do you stand firm, demonstrating the strength God provides, or do you find yourself giving up easily? Reflect on these questions: If you proclaim your love for God, what would others say about your life? Ultimately, does your life glorify God?

Here are three things we can commit to as citizens of God's Kingdom... As part of God's kingdom our role is to pursue faith, hope, and love. Here are three ways we can do this practically: 1. Be a blessing. - We can show this through our generosity, encouraging words, and how we manage our business. 2. We can spread a message of hope. - We can do this through our daily conversations, what we post online, and how we conduct our lives. 3. We can be a part of restoring other's to relationship God. - We can patiently listen, show compassion, and speak truth to people who are lost. "Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13

THE UNWAVERING PURSUIT OF GOODNESS: Beyond Human Praise In the journey of life, we often encounter a paradox: despite our best efforts to do good, criticism and dissatisfaction from others can be overwhelming. It's a harsh reality that can be hurtful, yet, it's essential to recognize that this is an inherent aspect of human nature. However, it's crucial to remember that our actions should not be driven by the desire for human praise or validation. Instead, we must focus on doing good within our capacity, regardless of the response. Why? Because the ultimate recognition comes from a higher power – God. God's appreciation manifests in subtle yet profound ways: through blessings, prosperity, and a sense of purpose. Moreover, let us embrace the truth that our good deeds are valued by God, regardless of human opinions. May this realization fuel our passion for kindness, compassion, and selflessness. Remember, every act of goodness echoes in eternity, resounding in the gardens of paradise. So, let us strive to make our names worthy of mention among the angels. #followabuzarmochionfacebook #follow_penmediumoninstagram #DoingGoodMatters #GodSeesYourGoodDeeds #EternalRewardsOverEarthlyPraise

Timing is important but His timing is perfect.
I wholeheartedly believe that you can not screw up God’s plans for your life. We are learning and trying to decipher the voice of God, and sometimes, we have to knock on doors to see if that’s where we are supposed to go. If you want to pursue the will of God, then ask Him to open the doors he wants you to walk through and close the doors that he doesn’t. Then, move forward with what you think He’s saying, trusting that if it’s not Him, He’ll close that door. God has plans for your life according to Jeremiah 29:11, so we want to align with His plans for us, but we don’t sit back and wait for Him to make them happen. We move toward God and what we think he’s calling us to.

Day 3/7 And we know that all things "WORK" together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28 KJV)📖📖📖 God's plan is always active.🔥🔥😊 The knowledge of His love makes it impossible to believe that God is ever inactive concerning matters that affect us.👌🏽👌🏽 We are His project and masterpiece, and He tirelessly works until we become, for the world, a template of what He can do.🔥🔥 Also, It’s crucial to distinguish between noise and efficiency to understand how much God is working on our behalf, even when we can't feel it. 🥺🥺The efficiency of God's work isn't discernible by the noise we expect, but rather by His ability to optimally use the resources of our experiences with minimal or no waste.😌😌 His "more than you can ask, think, or imagine" work is DEEP, STEADY, and GENTLE, to the point where it may seem as though nothing is happening until the results are revealed.💯💯💯💯 God's work is most appreciated when He’s finished with us.🥺😊 Therefore, we should never, out of impatience at His seemingly unnoticed working, take matters into our own hands and try to become our own providence.👌🏽👌🏽 The daily happenings, whether initiated or permitted, tragic or joyous, are the raw material God actively uses to achieve His glorious purpose.💯💯 Introduce God into the events of life, and you will witness order emerging from chaos.👍🏿 He is too kind to do anything cruel, too wise to ever make a mistake, too loving to leave anything to chance, and too effective to waste the resources that each of our experiences provides.📌📌 No conceivable circumstance could stop this work from happening!!!🙇🏿♂️🙇🏿♂️

You’ve tried everything... But have you tried God? You’ve mapped out the perfect plan Checked all the boxes And read every strategy. You’ve hustled, grinded, and sacrificed. But still... Something feels off, doesn’t it? Like you’re chasing answers that keep slipping just out of reach. Like you’re pouring everything into a cup that never quite fills. But what if... The missing piece wasn’t more hours in the day? It was something deeper? Have you tried God? Not as a last-ditch effort, But as your first step toward clarity? Have you ever sat in silence Asked for wisdom, and truly listened? Have you trusted His timing, Even when your watch says *“Not yet”? Have you given Him your dreams, When you felt too broken to keep dreaming? Here’s the thing: You can strive, hustle, and plan all day long. But... 📌 True peace comes when you stop chasing and start trusting. 📌 When you surrender the burden of figuring it all out, And let God show you the way. I’m not talking about religion. I’m talking about surrendering... ✔️ Your plans ✔️ Your will ✔️ Your fears To the One who sees what you cannot. So, I ask you again: Have you tried Him? Not as a backup plan, But as a foundation. What are you trusting God on this season?
