Writing a book, creating a radio program, educating others, helping a little old lady get her car out of a snowdrift, fostering kids, being a Big Brother, diagnosing a health concern for a friend her doctor didn't identify, so many I can't recall them all. How about you? Do you care for anyone other than yourself?
@PrintsOfPeace: reply to the challenge. Name one selfless act you have done. One act from which you derived no benefit whatsoever, not even the satisfaction that you were doing the will of your Creator, or that you were in fact deriving no other benefit but the satisfaction that you had done a deed with no more benefit than the knowledge that you had done a good deed with no more benefit than the knowledge you had done a good deed.
how shallow. The Creator provides us with dreams and visions (see Numbers 12:6). We can learn to use them for our benefit, and to help others often at no cost to them (and sometimes not even to ourselves, except the time it takes.) Dreams caution against taking actions that cause loss of life or harm. It is necessary to profit from our creations and regular labors, but doing good as an act of charity or caring should not have any expectation of payment or it becomes a business transaction.
