"Take the Blessing!"

I was selling an item and I found someone who was interested. The item was $20.00 and we set up a time to meet the very next morning. She sends me a text 15 minutes before we were to meet to let me know her check had not gone through and therefore was unable to draw out the money to purchase the item.
I responded to her that it was okay, to still meet with me and I would give her the item for free. She couldn't believe I would do that and politely declined saying she would let me know when she had the money and if I at that time still had the item she would then purchase it. I again, tried to convince her to accept it as a gift. No response.
That bothered me. I felt bad that she would not accept it. Especially because she seemed so excited the day before about purchasing it. And I wondered why she felt undeserved or embarrassed to say yes. It was only $20.00 that I was giving to her. I explained I wanted to bless her with it and someday she could bless someone else.
The only thing I could come up with is 1. She was embarrassed to accept it for free because of pride? Or 2. She felt undeserved? Why would anyone give her something free?
I don't know. I would have hesitated as well. And then I wondered, God do I do this to you as well? I don't really ask you for help because I don't think you are going to answer because deep down I don't feel like I deserve it? Which comes down to, I don't really believe you love me?
Do I say no to you God? Maybe not verbally, but in my spirit? Like maybe, just maybe you are trying to bless me and I say no thanks, when I deserve it I will come back to you and then I will take the blessing?
Pride is something we all deal with whether we want to admit it or not. We were all born with it. A humble person understands when they need help. A humble person understands that they will always need help here and there in life. And to accept someone's help or gift is all in God's plan.
Did not Jesus say that we are to love our neighbors as ourselves? He makes it clear this is key towards our Salvation.
So I got to thinking some more. I wanted to give this girl the item for free after she said she couldn't get the money. I decided from my heart to prefer her over money. I wanted to 'love' my neighbor over $20.00 right? But I was denied that. She wouldn't accept it.
I could have allowed pride to overtake me as well. How dare her not take my generosity?
It is like a man opening the door for a woman and she shouts "I can do it myself!" He was trying to be a gentleman like his mother and father raised him to be. He knows she is capable of opening a door. She robbed him of treating her like a lady should be treated. So he doesn't do that anymore. One gentleman lost because his pride was wounded. Of course he should keep it up and not lose this wonderful upbringing because of a woman who doesn't want to be treated like that. Many do appreciate it.
So what am I saying? Take the blessing! When it comes to you, please don't let pride sabotage it. We need better people in this world. We need to hold on to good values.
I need to love my neighbor as myself. Please let me. Cause when you let me then you will end up doing it to someone else as well. What comes around, goes around. It's true.
Am I ever going to offer someone something for free? Of course I am! It's just nice when someone accepts it. But the bible never said love your neighbor but only if they accept it.
Lord I want to take the blessing! I know I don't deserve it, and that's okay. And I don't want you to feel like I did, a little disappointed that I would not accepted your gift. A gift is free and undeserved. I understand it now!
