"The more heavenly your work, the less man will be able to see it, the less recognizable it will be." (Food for the Flock, vol. 1, p. 266.) This is not opposed to the passage: " Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Because, 'while the works which men can see will not be overlooked, but will be diligently attended to, there will be, as one is heavenly, a class of works which men cannot recognize, and of which our Lord says: " I know thy works."
Many works of our blessed Lord were misconstrued, and He was accounted a deceiver of the people. And Paul was called a deceiver-though " yet true." The light too must have reached the soul when any glorifies the Father on account of my works.
