I had a WWJD moment tonight.. [Spirituality & Religion]

Was sitting in my car in the parking lot of my college waiting to go in to a night class. A man that appeared homeless knocked on my window...and I rolled down my window and he very incoherently..like he wasn't very mentally with it asked for money for food...and I gave him the five dollar bill I had in my pocket...he walked off as soon as I did ...I hope he is ok right now...and I know most people would assume he was going to use it for drugs or alcohol...and that may be true...but he was hungry...and I intended to help him get food. God gives us all grace and sometime we waste that gift, which is even more valuable that money, on things like having a bitter heart. Who are we to judge? Is using money given to you by a stranger on drugs any worse than wasting our spiritual gifts on a bitter heart? Is not God's gift to us more valuable than anything we could give another person?

You just put a smile on God, face, sister. Thank you for helping that poor man out. Here's a thought though, you might of ministered to an angel who was putting your faith and trust in Christ to the test.

@GodSpeed63 That is true, however she also put herself in great danger. You cannot be too cautious these days. I would never roll my window down to a stranger, at night especially! He could have had a gun...it happens. Strangers are no respecter of persons or places. People will shoot you just when you're driving down the street. If I see a beggar on the street out in public, I do stop and give them money. But if one approached me in a dark parking lot, I think it would be foolish to put myself in that place of danger. God also gave us common sense.

Amen, sister, amen.

@GodSpeed63 Yes, just as much as the rest of it.
