A command of Jesus that is often ignored: "lend, hoping for nothing again"

[banthis]

lend, hoping for nothing again

Luke6:34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
Luke6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

lend

Mat28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.


Luke14:13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
Luke14:14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

HOPING for nothing back. Not hoping you'll GET paid back, but "hoping for nothing again". Hoping they won't pay you back.

Apparently I loaned my brother some money. I did not remember. And my mom keeps putting $20 in my bank account once in a while. Apparently I loaned her some money as well. I really don't remember.

I have ran into this issue myself I became disabled 3 years ago, and have on numerous occasions made mention of how financially strapped I was, even meeting with the local pastor over the issue, no one bothered to offer me a dime.

I have come to the conclusion I am to lead by example as they apparently lack that, I am hoping that maby I can demonstrate that it is not such a bad thing to let some money leave your wallet, to help someone in need.
