Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Mt5.16 NKJV
It is interesting that the Lord tells us in one place to allow men to see our good works and in another to beware of practicing righteousness before men to be noticed by them. The difference I think lies in these words “and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” It is one thing to call attention to the glory of God and another to call attention to ourselves. I have heard many testimonies turn into bragimonies. A proper frame draws attention, not to itself, but to the portrait.
Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed Nomine Tuo, da gloriam
Not unto us, Lord, not unto us, but to Thy Name give glory. Ps.115.1

Just me trying to be honest with God.
