My Motive: The Determinant.
Matthew 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
It's not good enough to do a good act. Many people at one time has turned to become a philanthropist which is good but it's not enough. The better side of doing good is only seen when the hood is done out of a pure, holy and love based motive. God doesn't bless a wrong motive even when the action is write. It's our motive that counts in order to receive form God and not humans. Even in rendering of service we're to do it as to God not human - Colossians 3:23.
Things done out of wrong motive (done openly) aren't rewarded by God - Matthew 6:4.
That good you've done or intends doing is it to buy your way through or to give God glory?
Your motive is a determinant, have a right motive. Shalom!
