Doing Good… or Keeping Score?”

Sometimes we believe we are helping others purely out of kindness, but deep inside we may still hope for appreciation, recognition, or something in return. The teaching in Gospel of Matthew 6:3 reminds us that true generosity is quiet and humble, done without seeking attention or reward. This reflection invites us to think honestly about our intentions and ask ourselves whether our good deeds come from a genuine heart or from a hidden desire to be noticed.
