If you are like me, I want credit for doing the right thing. Maybe it goes back to the Boy Scout challenge “to do a good turn daily.” There is a part of me that wants someone to notice and say something out loud when they catch me “doing something good.” Yet I also know that my character is most often best revealed when no one is watching. Frederick Douglass in a letter to Harriet Tubman once said:
“Most that I have done and suffered in the service of our cause has been in public, and I have received much encouragement at every step of the way. You, on the other hand, have labored in a private way … most that you have done has been witnessed by a few trembling, scared, and foot-sore bondsmen and women, whom you have led out of the house of bondage, and whose heartfelt ‘God Bless You’ has been your only reward.”
When was the last time ‘God Bless You’ was your only reward? What is the treasure you received in that simple blessing?
Front Porch Reflections 
Thanks for this reflection on “When God Bless you is your only Reward.” I tend to be like a Pharisee too, wanting people to notice when I do something good. However, as you mentioned, the only thing that matters is when Christ says to us on that great day: “Faithful servant, enter into the joy of the Lord.”
Wow! 🙂 A very simple but powerful message stemming from Galatians 1:10. Thanks for posting. 🙂
