"Be careful not to do your
'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If
you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven."
Matthew 6:1
No grace shines more brightly in a Christian, than humility.
Wherever SELF comes in--it mars the beauty of the work we
are doing.Seek to do your work noiselessly. Do not try to
draw attention to yourself--to make others know that you did
some beautiful thing. Be content to pour your rich life into
other wasted, weary lives--and see them blessed and made
more holy--and then hide away and let Christ have the honor.
Work for God's eye--and even then, do not think much about
reward. Seek to be a blessing--and never think of
self-glory.
"Then your Father, who
sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6:4
