“I saw you do that!”
Isn’t it interesting that we all have things we do that we hope everyone will notice and then some things we trust no one sees.
For example, when we do something very generous to a needy person, a little recognition for our efforts is very pleasant. All of us like a little praise and recognition now and then. I am not being critical of such actions.
I know Jesus said we are not to let our right hand know what the left is doing and I agree. But, somehow, as sinners, it is nice when people stumble across our generosity and recognize us for it.
But, I am thinking of other and darker things we sometimes do. For example, the hateful feelings we can easily feel towards someone who has embarrassed us in public. That smarts!
