I thanked him and asked for his name and address, so that I could write a thank you note. Even now I remember his face and his simple act of kindness with no thought of being recognized or rewarded. I had preached about such living in the morning. Jesus teaches us not to call attention to ourselves, and he teaches more. In the same way, let your light shine before others that they may see your good works and give glory to your father in heaven.
Truth has a tension to it.
That tension produces muscle. Without tension, there is only flab. Jesus said that we can have it both ways and that we should. Let your light shine and don't call attention to yourself. That gives us warning about the danger of acting religious in front of others.
