I keep seeing people at Wal-Mart or near the stop light under the overpass, holding signs that say "homeless, hungry, anything will help, God Bless, etc" and everyday I pass by them pretending not to see. My husband has me convinced that they are not being truthful. My son convicts me and has me give to them each time. Once, we gave this lady $10 but she took it without even saying thank you. I felt like she wasn't being truthful and may have been ashamed. Who am I to judge. How am I to know?
"Oh, Lord, that is the cry of my heart! How I want to see people the way You see them! I don’t want to be too busy that I pass by without noticing. I don’t want to miss the lonely, the hurting, the overwhelmed, the broken…..” Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?” The King will reply, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” -Matthew 25:37-40
