I've been guilty sometimes of just walking away.
Some other days, I stop and wrestle with my heart and mind, and pray to God... and what already was taken me 5-10 mins walk away from the person, to then just come back and give them money/food..
I know some people will argue, that money wouldn't be the best because they might buy drugs but honestly, who are we to judge? How certain are we that they are not going to buy food? A bread or something to give them that energy to keep going.
Personally, I'm a shy person but recently I try and come out my shell for the person and just talk.
some days, i wish I was philanthropists and re-build their lives.
I know as a Christian we meant to provide more than the "basics in life" like food, shelter and clothes..and even social human contacts.. I know we are meant to provide the manna, God's word that never goes hungry or thirsty again.
As christians how to we become the salt and light of this world? How practically do this? Practically, how do we do this?
Any thoughts or practical ways? I was thinking of having a stand-by kits, one that has non-perishable food, small money, helpful contact numbers and a small bible and laminated verses... Does anybody have any other good suggestions or advices?
