Our attitude toward giving to others, should be one of not expecting anything in return but to give just because we want to make the lives of people just a little bit brighter. Our giving should be free of pride and selfless in nature (1 John 3:16-18; cf. Deuteronomy 15:7-11).<\/p>\n
This principle of selfless giving is well reflected in the following poem entitled, A Kindly Little Deed:<\/p>\n

A kindly little deed,<\/em><\/strong>
And then I called to all the world<\/em><\/strong>
To stop and look and heed.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
In words I could not trust,<\/em><\/strong>
And when the world had gone away<\/em><\/strong>
My good deed turned to dust.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
I found to do today;<\/em><\/strong>
Twas quickly done with none to see,<\/em><\/strong>
And then I ran away.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
For truly I declare <\/em><\/strong> <\/em><\/strong>
As I sped back the stony path,<\/em><\/strong>
Roses were blooming there!<\/em><\/strong>” (source).<\/p>\n
