This is true love. God’s love.

Help others more especially when you know, for whatever reasons, they can’t pay you back. It’s called paying it forward, because there will come a time when that person is in a position to help someone, knowing that they were helped when they were in an awful situation. When you pay it forward, it’s a bit like throwing something heavy into water, you never know where the ripples of kindness will end up.

James 2:14-17 “My brothers and sisters, what good is it if people say they have faith but do nothing to show it? Claiming to have faith can’t save anyone, can it? Imagine a brother or sister who is naked and never has enough food to eat . What if one of you said, “Go in peace! Stay warm! Have a nice meal!?” What good is it if you don’t actually give them what their body needs? In the same way, faith is dead when it doesn’t result in faithful activity”.

Deuteronomy 15:11 “Poor persons will never disappear from this earth. That’s why I’m giving you this command: you must open your hand generously to your fellow Israelites, to the needy among you, and to the poor who live with you in your land.”
