A reflection on posting act of kindness

“When you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you”. - Matthew 6:3-4

“The most genuine acts of kindness are done without fanfare and when no one is looking.” ― Jason Pollock

Facebook and other social media platforms give us opportunity to advertise our activities. We can even do a live broadcast of our worship service and Bible Studies. Praise the Lord! 

Many people post their every act of kindness. They promote causes, organizations, needs, and ministries to inspire people to join. Much more so that others can contribute, take part, and help with acts of service.

Yet, we need to check the motives of our hearts why we do what we do. Do we use social media so that we can earn praise and admiration, or is it out of love for people and the desire to honor God?

But you know what? The Lord prefers that some of your acts of service need to be a well-kept secret between you and God. 

Dear God, please help me love others and honor You both in my words and actions. Amen
