Matthew 6:3 ” But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing…”

Any type of act of service is to be done in submission to God and in our love for Him…rather than for personal glory. For our acts of piety performed only for the sake of public recognition are self-seeking & self-serving and don’t show love for God but selfish love for ourselves. We are to be a hidden people doing God’s work quietly and without fanfare… not brightly illuminated saints with a “Look at me!” attitude. That’s because serving others as a follower of God is in it’s self a blessing not a performance for others to watch and approve.
