Is this hard to do?

"But when you give to someone in need, don't let your left hand know what your right had is doing."

(Matthew 6:3 NLT)

we start out serving our families and friends and loving it. But after awhile, our hearts begin to change and we begin to expect something in return. Eventually, we no longer have the heart of a servant.

The Bible says to give without letting "your left hand know what your right hand is doing." In other words, God wants us to serve and give without caring if people notice or recognize us.

Have you fallen into the mindset it's time to let others know how much you give or you're tired of giving because it seems like no one gives back?

If so, ask God to give you His heart so that you can give selflessly without a concern for recognition or something in return.

"Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full-pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back."

(Luke 6:38 NLT)

But not if you shout it from the mountain tops or even whisper it from behind the wall.

Lord God,

I want to have Your heart for service so that I can give to others the way You want me to, selflessly and with Your joy. Amen.

"Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked."

(Luke 6:35 NLT)
