a secret life?


Thank you Angela Thomas and "A Beautiful Offering" for enlightening me yesterday. A secret life. God calls us to live certain things in secret. Matthew 6:1 - Be careful not to do your acts of righteousness before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 6:3 - 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. 6:5 - And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. ... but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 6:16 - when you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do ...

A secret life. A secret life such as this has eternal rewards. A secret life of integrity ... between me and my God. This secret life rewards with power from the Father. Significant power. Eternal rewards. My secret life WILL overflow into my public life. A life of eternal overflow.
