Is this wrong of me?

Proverbs 14:31
‘Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.’

So, I give cash to the poor when I can. But. I always try to figure out if they're using first. I kind of feel like it's wrong of me.

It's very easy to feel slighted not knowing if what you give goes to a real cause, or if it goes to drugs or a fancy car payment. I carry a bunch of gift cards in my glove box to hand out, if I'm in the situation.

@Notanymore that's so smart. I should do that.

@Nevaeh0081 it makes me feel better about handing out to those who ask

@Notanymore Definitely. All parties are safe and win.

@Nevaeh0081 I think it's still a good deed even if they buy drugs, cause you gave them a choice.

@Matt85 True☝️ . and gave them the help that they needed.

To not, would you consider it to be a sin?

@Nevaeh0081 I don't think so.
