Matthew 6:3

New Living Translation (NLT)
 
3 But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
 
When Jesus says not to let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, He is teaching that our motives for giving to God and to others must be pure. It is easy to give with mixed motives, to do something for someone if it will benefit us in return. But believers should avoid all scheming and give for the pleasure of giving and as a response to God's love.
 
Here's a question I would like for you to think about...
 
Why do you give?
