Today, Jesus elucidates on the intentions we may have in doing our good deeds. He reminds us that we should not want to simply attract men's notice. We need to rectify our intentions constantly so that we keep our intentions upright. That means we do things, so God sees us. Our dear Lord encourages us to offer our deeds to God, and not to garner men's attention. Naturally, our good deeds will attract their attention and they would recognize our good actions. But this ought not to be the main purpose for doing them. We should not promote ourselves. If we do, then we may just receive our earthly reward, and we lose the chance to win our eternal reward.
