Be Seen of God

Mat 6:1 “Take heed that ye do not your almsgiving before men, to be seen by them; otherwise ye have no reward from your Father who is in Heaven”- 

Motivation is key to sincerity. For what purpose do we give and do acts of kindness. Human nature of man desires to be recognized for their accomplishments, for things that bring good to the community. But the warning is given by Jesus to be careful that we don’t fill our hearts with pride and desire the praise of men by the good works we accomplish. It is better to hide our identity and give as unto the Lord and not to man. We must live our lives to glorify Him and let others see what God can do and not what we can do. Giving or doing things to be seen of men does not come from a heart that is totally submitted to God. A heart that is given to God will do all things that He may be lifted up. Do it unto God, and not unto men.
