Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.
Matthew 6:1
Whilst enjoying a nostalgic time earlier this week browsing through my High School Annuals, I began to think how much I wanted to be the best at something positive. I wanted to be the best at something, because everyone knew those who were the best and fawned over them like groupies to a rocker. I remember at that time how I wished I could experience that just once.
We all know folks who seek the limelight and demand attention. They want everyone to know who they are and how wonderful they are. Well, while they may be wonderful, Jesus tells us that their popularity will be their reward. God looks at our intent for doing good, because popularity means nothing to Him.
Be careful of your heart's intent and be thankful that God is the one who sees our heart. God's love for us is FAR more valuable that any horde of groupies.
