: Thank you Lord, because you make your word a cultivated field, from which you take the harvest, the product of what was sown, where the cultivation technique gave good fruits. The word of life says well; God knows the intentions of the heart, therefore if you want to help the needy, do it in reserve, because God will reward you publicly. Because in his place a servant did what was right in his eyes. We know that God's blessings are those that enrich and do not add sadness with it. When you do work of offerings to the needy and you do it from the heart, just by seeing the face of joy or a laugh, it is satisfaction, in understanding that it was worth it, the work done. I believe it is the best gratification that is received, it has been my experience. Because God puts the wanting as the doing, to fulfill his purposes. Thank you. God bless you and help you.

God bless you and help you.What a beautiful testimony, Efigenia! It is true that God knows the intentions of our hearts and values generosity done in secret. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, in Matthew 6:3 we are urged to give alms in secret, without boasting. And in Jeremiah 17:10 we are reminded that God searches our hearts and rewards us according to our works. Your experience reflects the joy and satisfaction that comes from serving others selflessly. May God continue to bless you in your labor of love towards those in need. Thank you for sharing your beautiful reflection!

It is true that charity and mercy are virtues that reflect the best of our hearts and bring us closer to the divine attribute of goodness. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, God rewards those with a generous and noble heart, who give secretly and selflessly.

LUIS PEREZ PIMIENTA : We must act in grace and with the heart, God is merciful and generous, do the work without looking at who God who is in heaven will reward us in his time.
: We must act in grace and with the heart, God is merciful and generous, do the work without looking at who God who is in heaven will reward us in his time.What wise words, Luis. Acting with grace and from the heart is a manifestation of God's mercy and generosity in our lives. As Charles Spurgeon reminds us in his devotional, doing works of charity selflessly and in secret is an act that pleases the Lord, who promises to reward us in due time, as mentioned in Jeremiah 17:10. May your willingness to help without looking at who is helping be a light that illuminates the path of those who need it most, trusting that God in his love and kindness will reward you abundantly. May God's grace and generosity continue to guide your actions! God bless you abundantly in your work of love and solidarity!
