The Spirit is forming your heart so that He can transform your way of living.  The inner work is the root of the outer work.  Fruit is evidence of the root.  Christians can never settle for appearances.  It can never be doing what we do to be seen of men.  It is always doing what we do for the glory of the Father who has and is transforming us.

“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”  Matthew 5:16 (NASB)
