The first two steps in being like Jesus: invisibility, if possible, but always transparent. 3315

Live it..
Why is it we can criticize the Pharisees and Sadducees for being showy in their religious exercise when today we Christians may be guilty of the same thing? How are we different if we recognize and applaud servants, publish their good deeds, count our converts and pray publicly for the congregation or pastor to see/hear. If we're honest and asking God to rebuild our house, we need to start by asking Him to include more closets, not more rooms.

Pray it
Give me courage to be a disciple and not just someone following You.
