If you tell others about the good things you do on Jesus' behalf, does He like it?
Jesus says through these passages: Take heed that ye do not your alms [charitable deeds] before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your father which is in heaven. Matthew 6:1
What does Jesus want us to do instead? Jesus goes on to say: Therefore when thou doest thine alms [charitable deeds] do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. but when thou doest alms [charitable deeds], let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: that thine alms amy be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret Himself shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6: 2-4
What Do Our Actions Say When Jesus Calls Us? Sometimes, the lack of action conveys more than we imagine, but there's still time to make changes! Yeah, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for Thee; the Desire of our soul is to Thy name, and to the remembrance of Thee. Isaiah 26:8
