Sep 14- All For Him and Him alone

Today's ODB is from a very familiar chapter in the bible to me in the past 2 weeks - Matthews 6. But this time, we look at 6:1-8, 16-18, a very good and direct passage on the attitude when we do good deeds.

The Arthor wrote :Three times Jesus repeated to His disciples: “Your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly” (Matt. 6:4,6,18). This is our assurance as well. Every unobserved gift of time, energy, and love; every petition we whisper in our Father’s ears; every secret, inward struggle against sin and self-indulgence will be fully rewarded in due time.

This is also true that when we do good, there should not be a slightest desire to expect people to like us, thank us or compliment us. We show our care and support for one another, just because it is a right thing to do. Not expecting something in return. All we do should be for Him and Him alone.

1 “你們小心，不要在眾人面前行你們的義，讓他們看見；如果這樣，就得不到你們天父的賞賜。2 因此你施捨的時候，不可到處張揚，好像偽君子在會堂和街上所作的一樣，以博取眾人的稱讚。我實在告訴你們，他們已經得了他們的賞賜。3 你施捨的時候，不要讓左手知道右手所作的，4 好使你的施捨是在隱密中行的。你父在隱密中察看，必定報答你。
