At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did.

Acts 9:36 (NKJV)

God recognizes a person when they are full of good works and charitable deeds. This is the nature of Christ at work in a believer. Dorcas wasn’t looking for recognition. But who couldn’t recognize her work? She stood out among the disciples because of her reputation. We should all have the same reputation as Dorcas, a person full of good works and charitable deeds.
