Night Visitor

It was 11.30pm i was about to go to bed, and there was a knock at the door.
An aboriginal man was there, thinking that his wife was inside and wanted to come in.
i confinced him that no one else lives here or staying here.
Then he asked if he could stay one night here. He said that he believes in God.
Being female, i had to say no. With it not being safe, and not above reproach.
I wanted to help him, but all i could do was give him a mat to sleep on, and a friendly smile.
It hurt so much that i couldn't do more, It hurt that i had to turn him away.
I wish i could of done more.
Occording to Matthew 25 when we invite a stranger in, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, give drink to the thirsty, visit the sick or those in prison, we do it to Christ.
So if we turn someone away who wants help, does that mean that we turn Christ away.
