We struggle to tithe because it costs us money. We struggle to pray because it costs us time. We struggle to fast because it costs us focus. And we struggle to do anything that is costly for God, if we aren’t sure we’ll be recognized for it somehow. Oh, sure, we’ll do the thing. But then we’ll burn with the need to tell somebody, to review why all this godly grease is all over our hair. We’ll refuse to rest until the points get put on our scoreboard, until everyone who may be watching knows just how awesome with a capital A we are.
