'I'm Not a Bum; I'm a Human Being'

[BibleAndFriends]

The man totally gives you a different perspective... He's so right, he's not a bum, he's a human being! I used to always think they're all alcoholics and don't want to get jobs, then I started talking to them and then you realize they're just on hard times. I'd rather error on the side to always give to the homeless, than just "assume" what they'll do with the money and not give at all.

This brought tears to my eyes, I was homeless and it is heart breaking how many people treat you badly. More people treat you badly than kindly. The ones who are kind are doing the work of angels. Need more kind caring people in the world. I cant pay all my bills but i will still help someone out with some food.

I have my moments of selfishness, so every so often I watch this to help me remember who I am and where I came from

[Walkwiththewalkers]

Brought tears to my eyes. You never know the next persons struggle!

Forgive us god for having so much...and complaining as if we have nothing.... Bless us for the abundance...

Most important…I hope someone shared the Gospel with Him. That is eternal.

I always give to the homeless...I don't worry about whether or not they are hustling me, I'll let GOD worry about that. As long as MY heart is in the right place, then I've given of my self with good intentions to help another HUMAN BEING. The WORLD is a ghetto and I know that at anytime, GOD can place their shoes on a rich man's feet instantly. It feels good to my soul when I can give to someone and to be honest, I don't have it to give without worrying about how I will replace it. But I know whatever I need, I will get it one way or another so I don't worry. If I see my fellow man hungry, I'm gone FEED 'em if I got got it; simple as that.

“Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: “Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, For you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭6:20-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

It breaks my heart when he says "I'm a human being" and breaks down. So many people are cruel and fail to realize this. Homeless people are PEOPLE and have just as much rights as you do.

Do this, do that, you should, you must... Advices are easy to give, but we forget that we also need advices : Love your neighbor 🤗
A smile costs nothing and can encourage.
We cannot save the world, but we can reach out to someone out there, and treat them as a friend.
You gave me food when I was hungry, a warm place when I was cold...
Thank you Jesus for your perfect teachings 🙌
Brothers and sisters, we shouldn't feel guilty, we should only make a decision for the new coming year. We will make a difference in someone's life.
I know you guys are so generous 😉
God bless you and the homeless 🙏

Many thanks to the people who took the time to reply, so he never got the chance to spend his last days clean and warm, I know theirs a lot out there who get what they deserve, but people like Ronald don't deserve this indignity. God bless Ronald and all like people down on their luck.

Being involved with amazing Christian Homeless ministries in Florida, I know the following.

1. Most Homeless is a result Of one of three things. Mental Illness, Drugs, or Alcohol

2. There are numerous homeless shelters out there that will give you shelter, counseling, job opportunities, spiritual support, etc, etc

3. The main reason why most of the homeless I talk to, reject shelter, is because, they don't want guidelines or being told what to do.

4. If you want to help a homeless person, pray for them, and give them food/ water, and/or taxi ride to shelter. Never money!

God bless you for caring for the least of these
