Good people are usually hidden. This truth gives us wisdom: when certain gifts rightly attract attention, we won't make the fatal American equation that being known is better. Enjoyable, yes, and necessary, sometimes, but spiritually hazardous. The fact we still long to be noticed is evidence enough that it would only harm us spiritually.

If we're hidden, we're not forgotten by God. He places us, as Oswald Chambers writes, "where we may bring him the most glory, and we are no judges of where that is."
