 Many times we just don’t know who people truly are.
If I told you that my Grandfather was descendant from a noble Spanish Family named Munoz who had come to America seeking a better life for their children would it matter? If I told you that my Grand Parents on my mom’s side were descendants of full blooded natives would it make any difference. What truly matters is who we are or who we have become. If you someone is in need there is no shame in accepting help from someone else. The same applies if you decide to help someone out. There certainly is no shame in that either. Many folks prefer to be humble about their giving (Deuteronomy 15:11) while there are those who do it to attain attention and notoriety (Matthew 6:1-4) but lets be clear that the two are not the same at all. Deuteronomy 15:11 “For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.” Matthew 6:1-4 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” One does not have to be a Christian to realize that certain principles are the way of the universe and apply to all man kind. Helping the needy is one of these. Just Another Point of View. |
