I CAUGHT YOU!!!!!! Have you ever been caught doing something good? What was your reaction? 

Can you hear this tune in your head? Hide it under a bushel NO…I’m going to let it shine…. the lyrics to that childhood song is still one of my favorites. I get that tune in my head and I find myself humming and singing and eventually even doing the hand motions. 

What we do and say is a reflection of the light that is within us. What we do for others is ultimately a gift to God. Our good deeds are not for personal attention, however those good deeds do not have to be hid under a bushel. There is a fine line between honoring God and honoring self. It always goes back to the condition of the heart. Where are you pointing the spotlight of your good deeds? You don’t have to be embarrassed when friends or family discover something you may have done for someone else. Just give God credit, celebrate Jesus and turn the spotlight back on Him.

If you get caught doing good, don’t be embarrassed. Just smile and give God praise. Your actions may inspire someone else to do a good deed and the light of the Lord will become brighter.
