After Matthew 6:16-18
Fasting is not something
to be advertised; it us
to be seen only by the one
it’s intended to honor.
Fasting is not only to forgo
food; it is also giving
something up – money,
time, insight, focus,
desire, habit. Give it up,
by all means, if you
intend to honor the one.
But don’t advertise it.
Don’t brag. Don’t make
sure you’ll be discovered
doing it or having done it.
Fasting is not about you.
It never was.
It never will be.
So do it in secret
and you’ll be rewarded.
In secret.

So refreshing in this age of narcissism, Glynn. Jesus, of course, is absolutely right.
Blessings!
