*It is not up to me to decide whether someone **looks** or **acts** poor enough in my eyes, or what they plan to do with the money. If they say they are hungry, I spare what I can. I don't need to even speak on what I do, for it is not good works or acts of kindness or goodness that make a man or woman worthy before God to get into heaven, it is simply the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and putting faith in His existence. God will judge whether such persons abuse and deceive other people for their mercy and compassion but I am expected to love my neighbor and that is indeed a good thing. Some will say, but if he looks like a drunkard or a drug addict, I won't give them anything. Of course we don't want to feed into their hurtful and addictive vices, but I also consider that drunkards and drug addicts are human beings too and they also still eat sustenance (foods) and drink substances that are not so intentionally poisonous or hazardous to their already worn down and blistered, dirty bodies. Will I be judged for refusing a drunkard or addict money when I have it and I think he is going to buy booze or something else because he smells like it, but he or she is telling me they are really hungry? What if they die that day because of starvation? Am I partly at fault for pre-assuming my disposition on the matter? Or do I just give what I can and leave the rest to run its course under God's righteous scrutiny? I will go for the latter on this one. Do what you can, when you can. There is no need to speak about your charitable amounts or how much you gave and when you last did so. Just do so and make the world a better place. The only person keeping track truly is God Almighty Himself.*

This is so true; Give without letting your right hand know you gave out something with your left hand. Most people find it difficult to help other people because instead of them to help, they will keep judging the person forgetting they are not God!
Let us try to help at the very instance if we can, because at the end of the day; that life saved could just be ours.
**Every letters of this post was worth reading**

its a great thinking ,i also do same thing,when someone begged for his help and somehow i didn't help him whole day this thing never go away from my mind.....some good deeds we should do that only God knows nobody else .....when you are helping others don't think so that you are helping that person but indirectly you are helping yourself, God give this chance to you ,by doing this you can get the love of God can come close to Him
