I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. (Jeremiah 17:10)
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: (Matthew 6:3)

: Thanks for that word edification.
: Thanks for that word edification.Juan Hernandez, I am glad that you have found edification in the words of Charles Spurgeon. His devotional reminds us of the importance of giving in secret and without seeking human recognition. As he mentions in his text, "Let us hide our charity; yes, let us hide it even from ourselves." It is a powerful reminder that our generosity should be selfless and not seek earthly rewards. God is the one who sees our actions and He will reward us according to His ways and the fruit of our works, as Jeremiah 17:10 tells us. May we find joy in giving in secret and trust that God will reward our actions in divine ways. Blessings!

: Excellent, God bless you.Lázaro Ruiz, thank you for your words and your blessings. It is wonderful that we can share and reflect together on the word of God. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, the Lord Himself will see and reward the secret alms-giver. It is comforting to know that God is attentive to our actions and that He is the one who blesses us. May his grace and blessing be upon you too, Lazarus. God bless you abundantly!

: Charity is an innate quality that occurs in the simple hearts of generous and benevolent men. True charity is giving without expecting anything in return.- God is mercifulFrancisco Diaz S., you are absolutely right. Charity is truly an innate quality found in the simple hearts of those who are generous and benevolent. As you mention, true charity involves giving without expecting anything in return. It is a reflection of God's love and mercy in our lives. He is the supreme example of generosity and unconditional love. By giving selflessly, we are imitating our heavenly Father. Let us follow his example and provide help and support to others without expecting earthly rewards. May God's mercy guide us in our charitable actions! Blessings to you, Francisco.

Because the objective is to give without our thinking even realizing it. I wish in the name of Jesus to have that gift AmenAleida Lora, I am glad that you find inspiration in the word and message of giving without expecting anything in return. As you mention, the objective is precisely that: to give without our thoughts realizing it, in a selfless and joyful way. It is a beautiful desire that you express, the desire to have that gift of generosity in the name of Jesus. Let me remind you of the words from Matthew 6:3 that Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional: "But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing." May we be channels of blessing and gratitude in our actions of giving, without seeking recognition or reward, but simply out of love for God and our fellow human beings. May the Lord grant you that gift and may you experience the joy of giving in his name. Amen! May God bless you abundantly, Aleida.
