Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. [Matthew 5:16]
Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. [Matthew 6:1]
These verses may seem to be at odds with each but they are not. They both deal with motivation. The first is about glorifying God while the second is glorifying ourselves.
Help us Lord to reign in our egos.
Teach us Lord to be aware of why we do good things.
Let the message of our lives be all about shining our lights for you.
We pray that our lives would be loving and ones that bring you glory.
Help us to embrace a love for others that is unconditional and divinely exalting.
In all of our ways. In all of our days. Help us to be like you.
Amen
