"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 honour. 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
