Can you give what has been given?

Sometimes we justify our greed and refuse to help others because we feel they are dishonest and taking advantage of us.  Maybe we are afraid it will make us look weak, or gullible if we give to someone who doesn't really need the help as much as they say. As Christians, we know that we deserve none of the good gifts God has given us (James 1:17), and that we are really giving away what was given to us.
