A Pleasing Heart
Pastor Zubeda Sing · 2 min read
“not in the way of eye-service [working only when someone is watching you and only] to please men, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart;”
God calls us to be a God lover and not a man pleaser. In all of our giving to God, let it not be known by others what you give and when you give or how much you give, that is between you and God. As you sow in Secret, God will bless you in public.
In this life, let it be far from you to seek the praises of men. The fear of man is a snare and you become ensnared by them liking you and what they can give you. Let your heart rather seek God. The fear of God is the beginning of all wisdom. Let your heart be set to please God in all you do.
How do we please God? When we treat people well, when we walk in love, when we overlook an offense. When we do not feel wronged when we are not treated properly. We please the Lord when we serve in His kingdom. We are pleasing to him when we win souls into the kingdom of God. We please Him when we seek him in all of our ways. When we include God in our plans for our future, God ensures that the things that you have presented to him, will come to pass.
A thriver makes sure He/She allows the Holy Spirit to keep a pleasing heart to God.
From the September 2026 issue, themed THE HEART OF A THRIVER.
