But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Mt.6:3-4
Vainglory is always waiting within me to pounce and rob charity of its power.
I'm reminded of the famous quote, originally intended to apply to evangelism but equally applicable to all works of charity, "I am simply one beggar showing another beggar where to find bread."
I am a beggar following the Beggar's Friend.
Jesus , let love of the other always animate me.
