Have you ever shown your love and care to anyone who is in need and a stranger to you?


If yes, how do you feel? Do you get peace and joy and if no , then do you get peace and joy?

Yes, it made me feel like I was doing something for God, and I felt like I was called to do it. I have found found peace and joy!

Isn't that supposed to be Christian common sense?

If yes, how do you feel? Do you get peace and joy and if no , then do you get peace and joy?
Sometimes I get this self gratifying experience out of all of it. It makes me not feel so bad for myself.

It shows me that there is something decent underneath my bitter exterior.

You may be entertaining angels unawares.

How can anyone even question such a benevolent motive? It is better to give than to receive.

Acts 20:35 remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

As for me, well I'm learning to more and more, like sometimes I'll be around strangers and I'll think of what it says about be careful who you talk to because sometimes you entertain angels unawares so I be like, one of these people could be an angel. So definitely I would help a stranger if they needed it. I'm one of those that would help my worst enemy though if they needed it. Like if they was stuck in a hole or something I wouldn't just leave them there and go home to sleep. That would just be insane. I would eat first then go to sleep. ;)

Yes ! For an example, a few times I have been in line of a store , the person in front of me is short by perhaps a few cents to a few dollars, I would cheerfully hand over what was needed . I also done this as a cashier myself when working in a small owned grocery store. Helping out others. I to have given strangers ride to where they need to go( not so much any more due to having my daughter with me)! May be I'm a little out of subject here? God bless you abundantly!

Yes, daily! I feel my normal self, as it is God who calls me to give. I probably wouldn't feel myself if I wasn't showing, love, compassion and giving in some way.

Peace brethren! Definitely, I am showing all the people I meet everywhere how to live like a true, selfless, understanding Christian. Recently, I noticed that most people here in our place become grossly indulge in all forms of hypocrisies: lies, deceit, manipulations, discriminations, vices, gambling, those worldy pleasures. It is so easy to go with them (so I won't be left behind and be their ire) but I chose not. What I do, in contrast with their ways, is to be firm in doing good (e.g. returning to the cashier a over-change, giving food to the street children, keep silent so no argument will ensue, and many more) no matter how hard it would be to be outcast. One brother here always say "doing good shall not beget bad things." [I'd like to congratulate @Purpose for her "infallible" thoughts. Idol! :) ]. God bless!
