Today is Ash Wednesday. The ash reminds us that we are dust and to dust we will return. If we truly realize his, then ego has absolutely no place in us. In the Gospel reading from Matthew 6, Jesus taught his disciples not to perform righteous deeds in order that people might see, and to always pray and fast in secret for the Father alone to see. The reward ego brings you is not from the Father, for it doesn't glorify him. When we do all the good things for God the Father sans ego, he will repay us in secret. This is the reward that will be infinitely more satisfying.
