I saw on tv where a man opened his furniture store, to people needing a place to shelter from the storm, now when this is over the guy can't sell his furniture at a new price, what would cause him to do this, it is a thing call compassion, a feeling one gets in their heart when another person is suffering, the guy has a compassionate heart, he wasn't giving a handout to those folks, he was showing them love, brotherly love. something you can read about in the bible, i think it's in the book of first Corinthians, where it says of all the gifts, the greatest gift you can have is charity, { Love, Brotherly Love } where would we { all, every last one of us } end up, if Jesus Christ didn't have compassion for us, when he died on the cross for us, he didn't do it as a handout, he did it because he had compassion for us, we were suffering and in need, so he did it showing us his love
