And this is why I love my husband! On our way home we saw two homeless men and we had just picked up Burger King breakfast! We both looked at each other, smiled, and I pulled over and he took it to them. We gave up our breakfast to share the love of Jesus with two homeless men That’s what it’s all about – Matthew 25:40. Don’t ever discount any act of kindness and don’t ever look down on anyone – we are ALL God’s masterpieces!!!
For anyone wondering why we share “some” of our acts of kindness ~ Please read entirely so you COMPLETELY understand and I think ALL of you know whatever we do, we give ALL THE GLORY TO GOD!! Nothing to do with us, BUT everything to do with God!
Must I always give in secret?
No. Contrary to a common misinterpretation, when Jesus says, “[W]hen 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” (Matthew 6:3-4), his point is not to command utter secrecy on all matters related to giving. Rather, he is concerned with our motivation for doing “acts of righteousness,” whether we do them to be praised by men or to please God (Matthew 6:1). Consider that in this same passage, Jesus teaches his followers to do their praying and fasting in secret as well. But we pray (and sometimes fast) in public worship all the time because we recognize that even though it is subject to abuse, there is an appropriate way to pray in public. In the same way, there is an appropriate way to give in public. After all, the church shares a mutual responsibility for the spiritual growth of its members (Galatians 6:1-5), and this includes their use of money. As a matter of fact, joyful and humble public testimonies of generosity can be edifying and even contagious, stirring others to greater generosity (2 Corinthians 9:2). The point of Jesus’ words in Matthew 6 is our motives—whom are we trying to please? There is no hard and fast rule for the proper degree of secrecy. The important thing is to be sure at every point that it is Christ who receives the glory for our acts of giving. It is God who saves and God who enables our works of righteousness. – Thank you
GOD IS GOOD. . . ALL THE TIME!!
