After Matthew 6:1-6
A gift to the need
is just that: a gift,
a gift from the heart,
a faithful heart.
A gift to the needy
is not an opportunity
to signal your virtue,
blow your own horn,
or modestly blush as
you subtly call
attention to what
a good person you are.
Because that is your
reward, for the fleeting
moment it lasts. Because
if that’s your motivation,
then that’s your reward.
The admonition of blowing
your own trumpet includes
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,
Instagram, and the rest.
Imagine a reward that lasts
as long as a tweet.
