If you serve others for the reward of bringing pleasure to your Father God's heart as you work side by side with Him, then you will gain eternal rewards !
The art of self-promotion is alive and well.
We have photographers, publicists, and brand specialists to shape a wonderful impression of the good things we do.
We blog and Twitter and update Facebook on our every act of kindness.
Well, there are causes, organizations, needs, and ministries that need to be promoted so that some people will be inspired to participate in and help with worthy acts of service.
But all of us need to check our own hearts and motives on why we do what we do.
Is it for the praise and admiration of others, or is it out of love for people and the desire to honor God?
Some acts of service need to be a well-kept secret between you and God.
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 6:3-4
Shalom
