"We do not work to please God to GET a reward, we work to please God to thank him for the gift of grace that he gave us."

And if you do this work, this act of charity let's say, for the reason you give above. And hate the person? Feel no compassion toward them at all?

Something missing, right?

Can you do good works to please God WITHOUT compassion? Without love? I do not think so.
