"Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days" (Ecclesiastes 11:1).
The Holy Bible advises us to do good regardless of persons. In other words, we should serve those we do not know without expecting any reward since we offer such service to God and not to man whoever he might be. When we do so, we receive a full reward from the hand of God. Moreover, according to God's true promise, in time of need we will get help from those we do not know. We will discover that what good we have done is repaid to us even though after some time. Consequently, we should never be sorry for doing good for anyone at any time. Indeed, God's promise is true that we will find that good after many days.
