I once heard that a minister who was helping the poor was asked if he ever thought that the people he was helping took advantage of his generosity. His answer made an impact on my thinking. He said, "Probably but that is okay, maybe that will be the only advantage they will ever get."
We read about telephone scams that take advantage of people, usually the elderly or the uninformed. Are we prepared to have others take advantage of us? That simple answer made me evaluate how I respond to those in need.
