Our family has three cats, one rabbit, a hamster and a lizard. I said to one of the cats “do not bite the hand that feeds you.” I have often found that the people we help the most are often the ones that hurt you the most.
The bible directs us to “do good to all men.” For the destitute on the street corner, have a care package pre-made and ready to hand out. To the teacher at school, write a note of appreciation. To your assistant at work, explain how much you appreciate their work. Give your children a hug. Pray for your friends. Ask God to help your enemies. Let me, Dr. Jay Quine remind you that only God is good. But he uses agents like you to carry out his character to others. No one is good, so let the Lord work through you.
