Be
spiritually mature without recognition, and give freely of yourself anonymously
in humility. God sees and knows all and He’s the only one who matters. The only
recognition and reward you need comes from Him.
July's Message, Day 11:
“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in
front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from
your Father in heaven. “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with
trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be
honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand
is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what
is done in secret, will reward you. Matthew
6:1-4 NIV
God knows
your spiritual condition and God knows your heart in giving freely of yourself.
You do not need to announce and proclaim your spirituality. If it is true and
from the heart, it will be self-evident. Likewise, nor should you publically
parade your giving and service done unto others. No one needs to know besides
God, as He is the only one who eternally matters. Humility is prized above all
else, and being anonymous is a wonderful thing in the kingdom of God. Humility
in this way allows you to be free to do and give with proper motivation, and
with no ongoing external pressures. So be spiritually mature without recognition
and give freely in humility and anonymity. The best recognition and rewards
come from Him.
