I too judge people who beg for money. My judgment surfaces initially
and I am continually working to find my connection to this person first instead
of allowing my ego to trump my compassion for another human being. I rarely
have cash but when I do, I usually give. There was a time when I would think
things like, “This person might be an alcoholic and who am I to help him or her
with their addiction, they will just go and spend it on something unhealthy
like alcohol,” But while talking to a dear friend, years ago she offered me
valuable insight; her perspective. She told me when she sees a homeless person
begging for money, it isn’t her place to judge. She gives from her heart and
surrenders beyond this point. In her words, “I know I’ve done the right,
Christian thing; how this person uses the money I give is not any of my
business. I have helped another person in need. It is between he or she and God
in judgment of how the money is spent!”
What are your comments? Are you in favor of this perspective
or not? Leave me a note.
