“Don’t do your good deeds in front of others to be seen by them.”
— Matthew 6:1 (Paraphrased)
🌟 Applause or Obedience?
There’s a temptation to post every good deed, to seek recognition for every act of kindness. But Jesus flips the script: the reward you want from people might be the only one you get.
He invites you to something deeper—living for an Audience of One. The quiet, obedient life seen by the Father is worth more than a thousand likes.
🖊 Real Talk:
- Do I serve because it’s right, or because it’s seen?
- Where is God calling me to be faithful in secret?
✨ Try This:
Do something kind this week that no one knows about. Make it a secret between you and God.
✍️ Prayer:
Lord, teach me to love the hidden path. I want to live for Your eyes, not theirs. Purify my motives and make me faithful in secret places. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
