THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

“Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them, otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven. So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so they  may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you (Matthew 6:1-4),” 

Motive and reward, the two go hand in hand. The Father alone knows your motive. He knows when we want to “put on a show.” The disciple wants to please the Master. Who applauds the work that you do?
