Our Heavenly Father sees not only our outward acts of giving to the poor and needy or any charity, but he also sees our motives and the manner in which we give. If we give to be seen of men and honored by men, that is our only "reward" and we have no reason to expect a reward from God.

Almighty God, please purify my heart of any false motivation and help me serve others based on their need and my desire to honor you in helping them. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
