Do you agree that love is an important element of charity?

Yes. I am totally with you. Sometimes people may give out of bad intention, such as a selfish intention. People who are given much are expected to give much. For example if i was a billioniare, i would make myslef middle class. Because i would give all my money away. Why? Becasue life does not come from an abundance of money. Life comes from the Word of god. Love is the factor in charity. To me giving away is another way of glorifying the father. If we do whatever we can to do our best in gorifying his name, that is what matters the most. Remeber what God values the most. He gave more honor to the widdow in The Bible for giving what little she could. Which was everything! She put her faith in him. That is what is most important.
