Humble Anonymity


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.
