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)
Charles Spurgeon

How generous I am!

Don't give to the poor to be seen by others, but give generously and without seeking reward. Keep your charity hidden even from yourself and let God reward you in His own way and time. The joy and satisfaction of secretly helping others is greater than any material reward. God sees and records your generosity, and will choose the best way to reward you, which may take an eternity to reveal. Read more...
