Well said, Mr. Mayor. If we are to be the hands and feet of Jesus, we need to not be shy about sharing the Good News. I have found that when coming across a beggar on the street, when I open my Holy Bible and share with them the uplifting story Jesus told about the Widow and the Mite, I have their attention:
And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
Luke 21:1-4
We then look at the change they have in their coffee cups or hats or bows or whatever they have. We talk about the goodness of the LORD and how He will bless them according to their faith (Luke 6:38). It's that look of genuine hopelessness in their eyes I see when I take the money from them that makes it especially rewarding. Oh, some struggle, which is always so silly because they're weak with hunger while I am in excellent physical shape. But most part with it willingly (I don't count yelling and cursing). It is so rewarding knowing that after they experience true and deep giving, I know the LORD will bless them with the experience of abundance! Even if they don't see that abundance until they die, it will still have been worth it.
