Day 31 Admonition 28

Day 31. Of hiding Good lest it be lost. Blessed is the servant who stores up in heaven the good things which the Lord shows them; and who does not wish to manifest the good things to people through the hope of reward.  For the Most High will Himself manifest his works to whomsoever He may please. Blessed is the servant who keeps the secrets of the Lord in their heart.
