Luke 10:20 - "Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice because your names are written in heaven".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We do good things.
But most of the time, instead of just thanking the Lord for giving us that opportunity, we want others to know what we did. Even, others would post it on the billboards or even have it shown on TV's. We want others to know that we are generous, but lost that virtue of humility.
Jesus is clear. Do not rejoice because we have done things for His glory. It is given, and are things that we should be doing all along. These are things expected of us, hence, these are not something we should celebrate or let others know about.
But rather, rejoice because by doing so, God have in scripted our names in Heaven. He has come to know us and is now waiting for us. And our mansion in heaven is at works - brick by brick, tiles by tiles.
And when we reached that place, we have the mansion all by ourselves, the reward for being with Him while here on earth, following His will, being obedient in all His command and being humble at heart when sharing that same blessings with others.
We do good things, not because for our glory, but for the glory of God, forever.
+ Let us pray: Almighty Father, we adore You. We praise You. We obey You. We love You. And as we do these, we shall remain humble. We shall remain silent in our hearts as we just keep these to ourselves, fully knowing that these will prepare everything there in Heaven for my coming. Amen +
