Is helping others in need really worth it?

Someone I don't know well asked me for a favor....I'm tired and it will cost me three hours of sleep but it means a lot to them. Sooo encourage me guys....or ?
Ps: It has something to do with helping a 70 year old sick lady

Yes. You never know what people go through behind closed doors. If you have it, then give it. God loves a cheerful giver. God blesses those who show mercy on the poor & needy. Those who make fun of poor/homeless people, God will punish. You are doing the right thing because this world is full of selfish people.

Deuteronomy 15:10 (ESV)
10 You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because for this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake.

Proverbs 28:27 (ESV)
27 Whoever gives to the poor will not want,
but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse.

Proverbs 19:17 (ESV)
17 Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord,
and he will repay him for his deed.

Karma points, if 3 hours sleep is [i]all [/i]it's going to cost you then do it for yourself if nothing else.
SW-User

Your own words are the only encouragement you really need. Allow me to applaud you for your efforts in advance! 👏👏👏

Τhank you sooo much 💕
SW-User
do what you can to help..
your body may be tired but your heart will be at ease knowing that you did a good thing.
SW-User
Very true. I'll keep that in mind :)
It's nice to be nice but it's up to you to do whatever you like

Do it - not only will you feel good in retrospect for being generous; if you don't do it, you know you'll feel bad about yourself later.
SW-User
Agreed

Its worth it as long as they dont take it for granted or take advantage of you.
SW-User

As long as you feel that you are not being used and it is a person in sincere need I say go for it!
agreatday · 56-60, M
if it's within reason, you should help.
it'll come back to you someday.

You'll feel really good if you help that person out!
They'll be ok. Get some sleep.
SW-User
I'm afraid they won't :/
You're a better person than I 😬

why did they ask you? did they just ask you on the street?
popmol · 22-25, M
i'm just trying to figure the best plan of action :)
well what did you do?
SW-User
I did it. It was much easier than I thought. I felt happy :)
popmol · 22-25, M

Yes, I would go for this one. The nurse in me tells me that this person needs a hand, probaly to watch the elderly lady. It is very hard to get caregivers where I live. Family members end up doing it themselves and get all burned out.

Would this person do the same for you?
SW-User
Dunno, but if I were in their shoes I'd sure want someone to help me

@MissingNotes: well maybe take a chance, who knows they may be great!
Or, well you tried😏
SW-User
Honestly I'm not expecting anything from them in return. It's a battle between me and my conscience
SW-User
There is a hospital.
It can be done after sleep
SW-User
What is the favor?
