Treating All as Christ

Recently I had an experience with someone who had needs, this person had no money, no job and it was partly their own fault. The decisions you make in life will effect everything you do even your ability to be employed. This person had trouble with the law and was living in ways they should not have been. This is the kind of person you would say to yourself they have done this to their self, I'm not doing anything for them because it is their own fault; but then I remembered this passage

³⁵For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ³⁶I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

³⁷"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? ³⁸When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? ³⁹When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

⁴⁰"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

This passage really touched me and Jesus knew that normal people wouldn't want to help "The Least of These." but Jesus said if you did it until them you did it unto me. When I stand before the throne of God I want him to say these words and not I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty but you gave me nothing to drink...
