Night Prayer
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Inspiration
We are filled with joy when we see children sharing toys. The only reward they see is a new friend and a fun afternoon on the playground. They are not looking around to see who is watching; they focus only on their joyful interaction with the other child. As Christians, we must give and do good works in the name of the Lord with a childlike heart, a genuine heart that only wants to bring joy and happiness to those we serve.
Prayer
Dear God, please humble our hearts and help us focus on serving others with joy and happiness. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
