Ashamed of my conduct
Ian 155:
ha h ha Imagine what we would say if we had to give an account for all the Money we have received from God during our lifetime - when we were part of the world and whlst being a servant, now that would be interesting.
There is Now..... no condemnation for them that are in Christ who do not walk according to the flesh (rational human Mind) but are led/walked by the spirit
so dont panic if you give, its done, and if you dont, it wasnt

Over 30 years ago, I had an experience that still haunts me today due to my "lack of action." I was standing behind an elderly lady in the grocery store and when her items were rung up, she did not have quite enough money to pay for everything in her basket. As I stood there watching, I remember feeling so sad for her as she selected which items to return so as to have enough money to pay her bill. I also remember this little lady had the sweetest looking face, although she was obviously embarrassed by what was happening, and of course, the cashier was looking impatient because this was holding up the line.
Immediately after I left the grocery store, I began feeling this overwhelming shame for not stepping up and helping this lady. I regret to this day that I did not have, at that moment, the presence of mind to have just paid the difference that was due. Although this experience is very different from panhandlers asking for money, it has, however, affected how I handle any such situations. :'(

Why are the poor always with us?

I have never thought to really ask that question- I've only accepted it's truth. But now it seems obvious the poor are with us to fulfill the will of God in their lives but also for us to show mercy and wisdom and love. Of course. Such a good question!
Months ago I saw a woman on the side of the road with a sign and she had her head down and she was crying. My heart went out to her. I was in my car on a busy road and I had a doctors appointment I was almost late for. I wanted to stop, and I didn't want the doctor to wait (well, you know they don't wait, they charge you and give up your slot). So, I went to my appointment and when I was done I came back to where she had been sitting. I thought I would park the car and get out and speak with her- but to my regret she was gone. All I could do was pray that God would lead her to safety and a better way. I don't always react like that- as some have already said we have to respond to the Spirits leading.

Remember, Satan loves to use guilt and shame on all of us. It is one of his major attacks on everyone. He walks about as a roaring lion, seeking WHOM he may devour. Put on the helmut of salvation, which guards your mind, (Rejoice; again I say Rejoice!), and lift up your shield of faith (like your avatar does), which extinguishes every flaming arrow of the wicked one.
