What Are You Doing Here?

Chumy, with this familiar nickname, turned to his older brother and in a low voice, said: What is this street person doing in the bank, that even the customers stay away from him? The man you see, is one of those who has more money stored in this place, approximately 50 million pesos; he answered him. This information was even more incredible for the young man, and even more, when the way to obtain his money was by begging in the street; whether he invested it or shared it with someone, was a mystery that surrounded the beggar during his whole life.

If we dare to judge and conclude about the life and income of others, we should raise a daily prayer in gratitude for all that we have, to Almighty God, so as not to compare ourselves with others. To fall into the delicate error of condemning because someone's sins are manifest, does not please God.

Luke 16:22 NKJV

22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.

Matthew 21:31 NKJV

31 Which of the two did the will of his father?”

They said to Him, “The first.”

Jesus said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you.

1 Timothy 5:24 NKJV

24 Some men’s sins are clearly evident, preceding them to judgment, but those of some men follow later.
