26 May; Mat 6:1-4
Call it ego. The world looks at what you do and wow at you. Call it achievement - the world needs to see what you can produce and attain and wows at you.
Do I see myself then as a person who wants to do things for God and for man to know and see that I am doing things for God and man knows that I am doing these good things to benefits mankind?
Again it is about the heart intent. In Mat 6:1-4, Jesus say if you do and what you do is made known or so that what you do can be seen, then you have receive your rewards in full.
I am not pressured by what the peers are doing for God and therefore it is not a race to see who do more. It is more of a need to do something? It must then flows out of the heart - it is not about community service but rather it the things that you do will be able to bring someone closer to Christ.
It is not the tangible and it can then starts simple by prayers. It is not something anyone will see - it reveal however the needs and the call to God in petition - to pray for someone and something to happen so that he/she can know God better.
Therefore for me - stop the doing, start the praying. Who then to pray for? Again it is about the heart intent.
