No Good Samaritan

I was reading an article from the Adventist Review about a pastor meeting an “angel” on the road.  The “angel” was quick to provide him the help he needed when his car broke down on a rainy day.  Without being asked to, the “angel” would get his tools and give him his poncho.  And without asking for anything in return, he just asked that the pastor to help two other stangers instead whenever the pastor gets an oppurtinity.

I want to help people but I chose whom to help.  I have been tricked many times that even giving a coin to a helpless child was hard for me unless I can truly see that he needs that coin.  Otherwise I would pretend the child was never there. 

I find that cruel and I feel ashamed for that character.  I find it hard trusting a stranger.  Its a lot easy for me to scold a stanger cutting in line that helping the stanger when in distress.  I find it hard because I dont know their real intentions.  For a stanger cutting in line, I know the intentions are bad and I will scold him.  But when in distress, I cant see the real motive.

Should I help anyone?  Should I help blindly?  Whatever the stanger’s real motives are?  Even if my life will actually be in danger?

I strive to help stangers.  But still, I get to be picky.  Maybe that’s why I cant find good help these days.
