In the city of Brotherly Love, sometimes generosity extends past boundaries of gender or class.

According to a GoFundMe page established on his behalf, Johnny Bobbitt Jr. recently purchased a home with more than $400,000 dollars that were donated to him, all resulting from an act of kindness he made last fall.

In November 2017, motorist Kate McClure ran out of gas on I-95. While weighing her options for help, she was approached by a then-homeless Bobbitt, who walked up to her car. Bobbitt told her that the roadside area was unsafe, instructed her to lock the car's doors, and then proceeded to walk to a gas station where he spent his last $20 on a red fuel can.

Floored by his selfless generosity, McClure wrote about her interaction with him online.

"Johnny did not ask me for a dollar, and I couldn't repay him at that moment because I didn't have any cash, but I have been stopping by his spot for the past few weeks … I wish that I could do more for this selfless man, who went out of his way just to help me that day."

Several months and many donations later, Bobbitt's kindness has been returned in an overwhelming gesture of crowd-funded generosity.

Potential preaching angles: Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. True love expects nothing in return. Of course God usually does not reward our good deeds with a financial windfall. But the Bible does promise that our Heavenly Father who sees in secret will reward us.
