Getting credit

So much of our effort in life is to get credit for what we do. We spend time wanting to look good rather than to be good. Anonymity (at least to a degree) is a feature of Christianity. Our Lord commanded, "Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven." If we act to get the credit with men, we may displease God.
