Luke 6:33
Luke 6:33
And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
True kindness transcends reciprocity, challenging us to love without expecting anything in return. This principle calls us to rise above transactional exchanges, embracing an unconditional love that goes beyond mutual benefit. When we extend kindness to all, regardless of their actions toward us, we embody a depth of love that mirrors divine compassion. Selfless generosity demonstrates a character that values people for who they are, not for what they can offer. This approach frees us from the limitations of a conditional world, leading us into a life of joy that comes from loving without reservation. By doing good without expecting reward, we nurture a spirit that transforms relationships and fosters a community built on genuine care. In choosing selfless love, we find a freedom that enriches our faith and brings true fulfillment.
Proverbs 3:27
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
Deuteronomy 15:7
If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren, thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him.
Matthew 6:1
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Corinthians 9:7
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
