When You Help The Poor, Don't Do It For Public Recognition

40 Day Spiritual Journey to a More Generous Life
Day 36 - When You Help The Poor, Don't Do It For Public Recognition
 
"They loved praise from men more than praise from God."  (John 12:43) 

When it comes to giving to people in need or to causes, I do believe that motive matters.  Am I giving to make myself feel good or to look good?  Do I expect something in return?  Or, do I give because it is just the right thing to do, even if no one notices?  There is a deeper satisfaction that comes from giving with the right motives - for the glory and honour of God.
