The action of sharing Matthew 6:1-4 : Charitable deeds are to be done by children of God. But, if charitable deeds are done only to be seen of men that will be your reward in full. Our charitable deeds are to be acts of sacrifice and service, not acts of show. Charitable deeds done in the right spirit produce a special reward from God.

The scribes and Pharisees were guilty of heart-sins. They were hypocrites. When they did their alms they sounded a trumpet before them in the synagogues and in the streets, that they might have glory of men. We must do better than that. What we do must be done from the heart in order to have God's approval.

Do all the good deeds that you can. Hide this good from others so that they will not discourage your efforts nor boast too much about you for your actions. Do the charitable deed and forget it quickly so that you will not become complacent by thinking about what you have done. Allow God to have the glory for the deed!
