“Even is someone who begs from you is not in need, you should still give to him. Be happy in giving to him. God Himself ‘maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust’, so why should we not help our neighbor? Are we worthy of all the gifts granted to us by God? God does not deal with us according to our sins, nor reward us according to our iniquities.”
(Elder St. Paisios in ‘Spiritual Awakening’)
