We are called to help those in need whenever possible, not try to determine who is the most needy. The most difficult thing I faced, being a selfish sort of person, was being able to recognize need. I started with the little things, like carrying a small can of gas in the back of my pickup. I don’t know how many times I gave that to people who had run out. In this situation, the guy in a Cadillac is just as needy as the poor person driving a 15 year old clunker. I constantly had to fight off excuses not to stop for either - rich so and so, let him call for help; they look like trouble, I’d better not stop. I finally got in the habit of just stopping, regardless of what they looked like, and leaving my safety in God’s hands. I’m still here, by the way. After that, it started getting easier, both recognizing the need and recognizing what, if anything, I was able to do about it. My advice would be to pray, then start small. Little by little, your eyes will be opened any you will be blessed beyond belief.
