"The good deeds of some people are obvious, the good deeds done in secret will come to light."
1 Timothy 5:25
Have you ever known someone who did some good deed and made a big production about it to draw attention to themselves? Don't get me wrong, good deeds are definitely needed, the issue comes from the intention. Was the intention to do this admirable thing in order to garner attention? God knows our hearts and knows out intentions.
I used to be irritated by the attention seekers who do things for show, and God has had to remind me (again and again) that HE sees our deeds and will reward us in HIS time. And here's the best part, God is the only one who's opinion matters.
