StormBerlin,
Pure motive? Nothing is done without a reason and I believe that every motive is selfish. Even if one does not expect anything in return, one will still do kind things because it feels good. Thus one’s motives are always selfish.
That aside, it doesn’t matter what one’s motives are. The important fact is the impact of kindness on the person receiving it.
In my opinion an act of kindness is one where one doesn’t ask for anything in return otherwise it would be performing a service.
As for the issue of how such things would look in the eyes of God; we can only answer the question if we actually understand God.
