Giving When No One Sees
Matthew 6:1-4 gives some important insight into giving,
“Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.”
Jesus points us to a truth that is vital to us as Christians: Giving is an issue of the heart.
God will not honor your giving if, when you give, your heart is saying, “I want everyone to know what I’m doing. I want to be noticed when I give. I want everyone to know just how generous and kind I am and what a benevolent heart I have.”
We should give with a pure motive. When we give with the right motive, not to be seen by men but out of a right heart, God will reward us openly. That may not exactly translate into dollars and cents, but it will translate into tangible blessings, things that people can see.
If nobody else knows you kicked in the extra hundred bucks, don’t worry about it. God sees, and He has a way of rewarding you openly. Everyone will recognize the hand of God is on you. God’s blessings will come into your life.
So when you give, check your heart to make sure you are giving with the right motive.

God looks beyond what we do (even the good we do) to see our heart. He cares about our motives when we give, pray, fast… The heart of the issue, with God, is always the heart. He wants to guide us by our heart so we can make a radical difference for Him!
