So whoever knows what is good to do and does not do it is guilty of sin. (James 4:17)

Sometimes, when we look at something or someone, there'll be a sudden thought came to us, "go help them/him/her", "do this..." Then we'll be thinking about it, and when we feel like doing it, the chance is gone.

I've came across this Bible verse few weeks ago, "So whoever knows what is good to do and does not do it is guilty of sin. (James 4:17)". it doesn't say that we have to do some good stuffs or good deeds, it says that if we know that doing that we have to do something or help someone, we have to do it or we're guilty of sin.

sometimes we hesitate too much before doing an action that we know it's good. and then we didn't do it.

sometimes, we'll think that, "what benefits i can get from doing this?" or "will i be returned for what i've done?". sometimes, there'll be some rewards, but most of the time we wont get anything after doing it.

sometimes i asks myself, "why do i do this?". is it really from my heart? or it's just because i want to get some reward, impress people? sometimes i don't feel like doing it, but the Bible verse James 4:17 motivates me to do it.
