Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. — Matthew 6:1

Compassion is not about making yourself look good, and it is not a private feeling that only you feel. Christians should always act in the best interest and for the greater good of those in need, without drawing attention to ourselves or our sacrifices. God gives us what we need to bless others, and he takes care of the reward, when our goal is to please him and let him use us to bless people in need.

Prayer

God, who loves and cares for us, use me every day to help someone in need. Please help me see and hear the people around me who need emotional support or money. Please give me the courage to bless them and bring them closer to you. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
