Am on hols in Italy am a Christian lady, who was challenged in my attitude yesterday, by a beggar lady in rags,wanting money, I told her to go away as I did not want to encourage her begging and annoying people,this was my thoughts at the time,on reflection I see I was in a place of being unable of noknowing how to respond to her,action.i found challenged by my ungodly response,and am looking in a mirror of my own shortcomings,even have justified my actions as o.k as our god said the poor will always be with us, and his descendants will not have to beg for bread. P.s have always tried to live up to to, meeting a need if I have been able to,and love my lord Jesus,your response would be much appreciated, kind regards and love in christ jesus
