Pray in Secret...

Does the Lord not say to keep your prayers and charities secret? That the Father will know his own? Then why do you wear your prayers and your charities on you sleeve, like some badge of honour? Do you so desperately seek the approval of man that you disregard the advise of God? Or do you seek to prove to man just how holy you are? This is the path of Pharisees and Sadducees, not the path of followers of His Way. Go back in your closet and shut your door. Pray in the silence of a space occupied only by You and God. Then come out and show the world HIS worth by example, not YOUR worth, by a list of things that you do.
