Jobless man

On my way to church at Friday nights, I often stopped at the traffic light outside the freeway exit and there would be a seemingly healthy man standing on the side, holding up a sign that asked for support. Sometimes a driver ahead of me gave him some change. There could be many reasons that he couldn't find a job. I avoided drawing any hypothesis on the matter. But here're some thoughts that came to me:

1. I am glad that God gave me a job. Only through hard work I can truly enjoy the abundance of my life.
2. With my job, I don't have to stand on the side walk to ask for change. No matter why one has to do it, s/he can't avoid feeling ashamed. For that I am sorry for him.
3. It's written in the scripture that God allows us to work hard for our living, so that we can enjoy the abundance He provides. The man on the street may not be told of this. And even more he may not have received Jesus. I am so lucky there were Christians around me and told me such Good News.
