Basically, I gave someone I didn't know a ride and I had my resume(with my address in it) in the car with the address on it. So I'm kinda worried now. Sadly, I accepted him to give him the ride without thinking. So I didn't really know if the Holy Spirit told me to do it or not. If I knew it was him, I really wouldn't be worried about it.
 
I wouldn't worry. You really can't do anything with just someone's name and address. To steal your identity they would need either a bank account number or credit card number or social security number. Most people have their name and address on their checks and they give the checks to cashiers at the grocery and walmart all the time. What you don't want to give out is your account numbers, credit card numbers, and social security number.
 
Did he loook.....honest?
Well the only think you can do is pray that he didn't no anything, or if he did... pray that he repents from his intentions of doing something with the info.

Yeah, I'm just worried about him coming to my house/breaking in or something...
 
The Doctor says: I recommend taking three deep breaths and calling me in the morning. ;)

Chances are, if he doesn't have a car and needs a ride, he won't be coming over to your place any time soon, unless the bus stops right out front of your house...?

You did a kindness. Satan wants you to live in fear of the repercussions of kindness. Don't let evil grab a foothold into your heart.

The kindness of God's Spirit within you prompted you to offer the man a ride.

Even if he did steal your resume he probably couldn't have passed himself off as you in a job interview (LOL) and when time came to show his photo I.D. I suspect he'd have some explaining to do, even if they hired him!

As for coming back to your house...what would he be looking for? He just wanted a ride to wherever he was going, right? So if God protected you enough to watch over you while in the car with a complete stranger, surely God will also protect you if that same stranger ever showed up on your door. While I don't recommend picking up hitchhikers (especially for women) you did what you did and that's that.

Hebrew 13:2 "Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!"
 
I agree with Suzie. Pray for God's protection over your home, trust Him, and we'll do the same. :)

I suggest listening to that Amy Grant song, dothackedO, and, moreover , realize God does not only protect us physically from harm VIA angels, but other ways too, like watching over our possessions, as God instructs Michael (no, not John Travolta) and Co. to do :D

Remember, too, the blood of Christ protects us. Same as in bible times when, in Exodus God asked Moses to have the Israelites put literal lamb's blood over their doors so when God passed over to kill all Egyptians' firstborns He would pass their door , not killing the Israelites (God's chosen people) firstborns.

God has a plan and sometimes, like 9-1-1, He trumps everything else -sure there were a lot of good God-fearing men and women that died in the Twin Towers toppling and planes crashes. But God just, regardless of protection prayed for by families for their loved ones going off to work on Twin Towers or going for a plane ride like Todd Beamer, who helped orchestrate takeover of plane thatvwas supposedly headed to crash into the White House and instead crashed in a Pennsylvania cornfield. All died on that plane.

But, D_H_0, what I am saying here is to pray -often-- for your private information protected, not just that resume but for whatever is private, and, don't just pray genetically . Pray for God to Keep His hedge of protection around you, around your family, and, around your stuff. (Remember, too, EVERYTHING we have, all our possessions and people around us, is given as gifts by.....God. :)

And, lastly, do things to please Him, so as not to give Satan a foothold, and, therefore, a stronghold in your life as God cannot protect us when we are doing things contrary to His 10 commanded biblical ways laid out by God through Moses , in Exodus.

Good words from SuzyQFam too, it is good to do God's work, and, helping strangers,
