Giving to the Needy
6 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honoured by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
My Reflection:
The Gospel was about when you give to the needy, you don’t need to let everyone know about it or to brag about it. It’s basically telling us to don’t be like the people who show false appearance of virtue and goodness when they are really just hiding their real character.
