Yes. None of us is “worthy” of a home. Or anything but God’s judgment.

If I have a tent to sleep in, it is the grace of God. “A man can receive nothing except it is given him from above.” “All we have comes from Him....”

Most content I’ve been is when I had nothing but the clothes in my car and my car - working & living with the poor. Go to Nicaragua or Haiti - the poorest of the USA are rich compared to them. I loved helping the poor in their cardboard & tin shacks in the city dump of Managua Nicaragua.

Thinking we deserve anything is not understanding our condition, our nature, or God’s nature. He is full of mercy and grace.

I think you misunderstand Faith Presses On; she wrote:

And while I believe I'm not "worthy" to be homeless [...]

So she wrote that she is not worthy of being homeless - not "not worthy of a home."

Yes, I agree. I’ve had no interest in attaining a lot of wealth in life. I’ve been satisfied with little places and not having “much,” and putting whatever I have towards God’s service.

It’s like with 9/11. As human beings, we are heading for an eternal 9/11 — Hell. If that’s been revealed to you, and you’ve been saved from that, from being trapped in those burning buildings, then it’s your mission after being saved to try to do what you can to keep people from going in those buildings, or to convince those who can be to get out of them.

Being low-income here, though, I will add this comment. The poor here are both poor and rich (thinking here of Proverbs 30). True debilitating poverty in some ways, and of course riches in others. I think middle class people can get a sense of how there can be some of both at the same time.
