Yeah that s right the question is really awkward because its strange and that s why i will explain the reason why

and first to mention answer to this questions which is awkward is because it has to do with helping to people whu need help like giving money etc

What s confusing to me in bible says this

Matthew 6 Revised Standard Version (RSV)​

Concerning Almsgiving​

6 “Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

2 “Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3 But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

I mean that doesnt mean like you have to be a ninja and hide behaind the brush when giving or at tree be invsible but there must be something else correct?

for example if i am correct is there a reason lets say you re in church and giving money there s people and you put money inside that thing but your intentions is pure for our lord doing not for ourself then our intentions even so there s people are not hypocratical?

does this goes for other things where we cant hide our good deed when we do it but of course there s many things i should learn so i whould like you to teach me what else we can do that just what i explained from giving money etc for example?

buying coffe next to person or buy coffe and put on plate leave it there with note?

Next questions is it bad idea to glue money around these siting thing in city square or park bad idea right or not or at parking etc?

next is i wonder if you ever done this have you ever wrote on note an message what can make someone s day better and give it to stranger? i know some wont take it as normal some will right i just want to know what s good thing and what s bad thing

in act of kindess are there rules how people should behave because i realised there s many things lets say that s not how you do things i guess i got that wrong

Ok, Ideas…
First, the idea that the intention is to please God and not Man is correct. So think on it and pray on it.

Specifically:
Don’t be worried about being a Ninja in Church. I guess, it’s like don’t flash a hundred dollar bill with a flourish and drop it in the plate for everyone to see. Put it in the envelope at home then leave it quietly in the place like everyone else.

Do your good works, Give to the poor and tend to the sick, just don’t brag about it at work the next day. Keep it in your heart and offer it up to God as you do it.

This really is more about the sin of pride than anything else. Do what God asks but do it with the private presence of God in in your heart. It’s about doing the Lords work with complete humbleness of heart without drawing attention to yourself for your own gratification.

I hope that makes sense.

God bless…
 
Yeah it actually doesn i agree i really dont like being like celebrity that s why its great
also when we give to poor do we have to give when someone ask only?
or we give randomly to enyone because i saw this in video but i think its kinda awkward because poor need more money that thouse whu have it right?
