Be Humble Do Good In Secret And Let Your Reward Come From Above

3 min readFeb 12, 2024

God wants you to do good in secret. This is a powerful message that we should all take to heart. It’s easy to get caught up in the desire for recognition and praise, but true goodness comes from doing good deeds without seeking any reward or acknowledgment.

Think about it — when you do something kind for someone else, are you doing it because you genuinely want to help them or because you want others to see how generous and selfless you are? If your motivation is the latter, then perhaps it’s time to re-evaluate why exactly you’re performing these acts of kindness.

When you do good in secret, this shows your sincerity and humility toward helping others and also helps you grow as an individual. You learn that your actions have an impact beyond yourself; they can make a difference in other people’s lives even if no one knows about them except God.

Therefore, strive to be better by following God’s teachings and do good in secret. Focus on being kinder, more compassionate people who seek out opportunities for service without expecting anything in return.

Living this way consistently will lead you down a path of fulfillment and purpose knowing that you made positive changes within yourself while making meaningful contributions toward society at large!
