Matthew 6:1 — “Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.”
Maybe it's just me, but I'm bothered when I see someone posting about a "good deed". Especially when it's done by a fellow Christian. We are called to do good deeds, but not for our own glory. We are to do everything for His glory. When we seek praise and "likes" on social media, that is our reward.
In a culture that thrives on visibility, Jesus calls us to invisibility. Not because good deeds aren’t worth celebrating — but because they’re worth more when they’re surrendered to God, not showcased for applause.
When we post every act of kindness, we risk trading eternal reward for temporary "likes." Jesus warns us: if we do good “to be seen,” then being seen is all we’ll get. But when we serve quietly, heaven leans in. God sees what others don’t — and He rewards in ways no algorithm ever could.
So, before you do something and post it on social media, ask yourself...
- Am I doing this for God’s glory or my own recognition?
- Would I still do this if no one ever knew?
Have a great day, and as always, let others see Jesus in you!
