The What will they say

“ 'And rend your hearts and not your garments.' Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and repents of evil.”
Joel 2:13

I have seen, in my generation, many Christians who act guided by the concept of "what they will say". This saying refers to what others will think about them, in other words, they do not follow sincere paths as children of God. Therefore, they help others to show solidarity when in reality, in their hearts, they are very far from it. They undertake solidarity campaigns to provide food when someone is taking pictures of them, but when it comes to helping in the streets or giving a hand when they do not have their brothers watching, their desire to help disappears. In their homes they are no more than uncaring or intolerant parents with their children and are selfish with their friendships.

Living a false life will be punished sooner or later by our Father, because He does not want us to be supportive only to be celebrated or recognized by others, He wants us to do it from our heart, for the mere benefit of collaborating with someone in need. Keeping up appearances when we are not really open to receive God inside us is not a good path, it will take us further away from Him. Generating false expectations for our brethren, promising to help them when we are not really willing to do so is a serious mistake.
