What is real charity?

A beggar came to me and begged.

I offered food that he declined.

I offered clothes that he declined.

I offered coins to be declined.

Puzzled, I asked him, “What else would

You prefer to receive from me?”

He asked for my lust and greed.

He asked for my fake and jealousy.

I then sent him empty handed.

Nor did I know that it was God

Who had come to me in disguise.

Is what we give a charity?
