¹“Be careful not to do ‘good works’ in front of others. Don’t do them to be seen by others. If you do, your Father in heaven will not reward you.”

Think!

Think about why you do good things. Do you do them because you think God will love you more? God loves you perfectly right now! He can never love you any more or any less. You should do good things because you love God. All the other reasons are selfish. Ask God to help you live for Him and not yourself. When you live for yourself, you have it backwards!

You can pray like this:

Dear God, help me do good things because I love You, and not for myself. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
