“When you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you… so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.”
— Matthew 6:2–4 NASB1995
🌟 Hidden Generosity, Eternal Reward
Jesus assumes His people will give—but how we give matters. Kingdom generosity isn’t about gaining credit. It’s about reflecting the generous heart of our Father, who gives without fanfare.
Giving in secret keeps pride out and keeps the focus on love. When no one knows but God, our faith deepens and our reward is eternal.
🔗 Ante-Nicene Reflection
The early church quietly supported widows, orphans, and the poor—not to gain attention, but to honor Christ. Anonymous generosity was the norm, not the exception.
💭 Reflect
- Am I more focused on being generous or being noticed?
- What can I give in secret this week to reflect my Father?
✨ Prayer
Lord, let my giving reflect Your heart. Purify my motives. Make me a joyful, humble giver who loves in secret for Your glory. Amen.

● 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.
