Jesus went in to a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not keep his presence secret. Mark 7:24
Jesus was traveling and did not want to draw masses of attention. He tried to keep his presence secret, yet continued to perform miracles and show God's love. When you do this, people are bound to notice and get curious! This is something we can aspire to as well. We should go about our lives humbly showing God's love, not advertising our good works, not looking for crowds of people to see and acknowledge us, but doing good without seeking recognition. What can you do today to bless someone in secret? How can you show love to someone without anyone else knowing?
"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven" Matthew 6:1
"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season, we will reap, if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9
Another way to look at this passage is metaphorically – with the house being our hearts. Once Jesus enters our hearts, we cannot keep his presence a secret! 😀
