Abraham was willing to give up his entire fortune in order to ensure that Isaac marry Rebecca. So, too, G‑d is willing to give up “all His bounty” to help each and every one of us fulfill our mission of bringing about the “marriage” of the physical and the spiritual dimensions of reality by transforming the world into G‑d’s home through our good deeds.1

I try and do goods of loving kindness but should I expect others to return the favor? Why do I feel letdown when this does not
happen?

I feel it is because you are expecting the returned kindness from the wrong person. I have found expecting other people to repay our kindness is fruitless. However, expecting HaShem to repay our kindness is bountiful. Of course, doing a kindness for another. Is its own reward. B"H Reply

Hi Judith, Rivka is the Hebrew version of Rebecca so the two are one and the same :)
