The true challenge of charity is not in the gifting of your trash but of your treasure, not your worst but your best.

Christ was of course not the slightest bit envious. His perspective was to take care of the poor not out of hatred for the rich, but out of love for the poor; and though we try to imitate His teachings, due to our corrupt and sinful nature, oftentimes, this obvious fact is still so easily neglected.

For the case that one thinks he has plateaued in life, God has already set yet another peak for him to reach: and a much more challenging peak than his own, one that which is to serve others.

Charity by principle that God will bless you in return is to give with a heart of greed rather than with a heart of love.

Respect elders; protect children. This I do believe. As a young man it is sometimes, in a charitable sense, difficult to shake the sentiment that every elderly person is my grandparent, and every child is my child.

Hopefully, when your actions and deeds - and therefore other people - boast for you, you're made tired of hearing it, too, from your own mouth because if not, all could lose sight of those actions and deeds behind the gong of your boasting.

Be willing to give, but only when you aren't expecting anything in return.
