I want to rise to the occasion, but is it in my best interest?

I was brought up to be a caring individual, to help anyone that is in need and to be of service. I truly believe that we are all connected. To say the least, if I tried not ot help someone with my resources that was truly in need, my heart would convict me. Are we a dying breed? Is there anyone out there that can feel me? I can't do it all by myself, but I do understand that God has given unto me extra blessings to share with my sisters' and brothers', not of blood, but of circumstance. Who among you has never needed someone to extend kindness to you in your time of distress? We all need help at some instance in our lives. I would not want to be guilty of turning a deaf ear and a blind eye to someone who I have the means and ability to help. OK, lets flip the script! There is a serious trust factor involved. Who among you would like to be a victim of a scam by a con? No one! There are millions snaring good-willed, innocent people who truly want to help. Have you ever been burned when you tried to be a "Good Samaritan?" I believe that God requires me to just do the right thing and let Him take care of the justice and judgment of those who are using others to their own ill-gotten gain. We will reap what we have sown! God is in the blessing business and He will never run out of resources. So therefore, if you feel like... I just can't take anymore chances on mankind with my charity, remember this... The next person you truly could have helped, but said no to could have been God's way of supplying your needs and answering your prayers. Hey, He works in mysterious ways!! Just something to think about... Blessing... What say ye? Can I Help? We see people throughout our lives, Less fortunate ones some full of strife. The angry and downtrodden ones lost on they way, But, Can I Help? I ask today! The homeless, out young folk, the babies, our old, Lost in a world that has turned so cold. No feeling, no compassion, we look and we stare, But, Can I help? I want to do my share. To take up the burden of my fellowman. Do a little bit anything that I can. Giving of ourselves is what it's all about. Can I help? Yes, most certainly and without a doubt! Copyright © T.G. a/k/a Singleton Tate 1997
