“Be [very] careful not to do your good deeds publicly, to be seen by men; otherwise you will have no reward [prepared and awaiting you] with your Father who is in heaven. Matt. 6:1 (Amp.) “Be especially careful when you are trying to be good so that you don’t make a performance out of it. It might be good theater, but the God who made you won’t be applauding.” Matt. 6:1 (The Message) All that we do should be done with the right intentions and the right motives. Discern in your heart if there is a desire to be seen doing good by man or are we truly seeking to live for an audience of one – God. There is a thin line from desiring to be appreciated and doing acts to get personal accolades. All that He has given us the ability to do reflects His grace, love and power flowing through us. All the glory belongs to Him. Today’s Prayer: Lord, search our hearts and examine the motives that lies within our deepest parts. Remove every self-serving intention, so that you alone will get the glory from all that we do. Let our light and life reflect you. In Jesus name, amen. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
