If you have ever felt badly about telling someone in need that you don’t have any extra money, I’m right there with you. I walk down to the Post office often here in downtown Dallas, and had an older gentleman who asked if I could give a donation for a copy of Streetzine which offers financial opportunities to homeless and economically disadvantaged individuals… I told him that I didn’t have any money and he said, "that’s okay sir, may God bless your day in all you do" and he handed me a magazine for free.
May I be honest? I felt some kinda way because I did have $5 on me that I could’ve easily given him, and as I was walking I kept thinking about going back, but I didn’t. But then I felt convicted because I started to think of all of the times I ran to God, needy, begging, pleading… and every single time He’s given to me.
