This is nice and it is good to help those in need, the Bible has a lot to say about this very thing but Jesus goes a step further. Do good to people even when you know they WON’T reciprocate.
“And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.” Luke 6:33-36 ESV
Worthy of Praise
