When the verses penetrated the hearts of the believers, we have authentic narrations from our Salaf that some fell unconscious and some of them fell dead.
Do not be surprised The Qur'an is so strong it kills? What are you saying Ahmad? It is deeper than that, it crumbles mountains down.
But how come I do not feel anything? Hearts have become harder than rocks and mountains when they do not understand the Qur'an. [Gems of Ramadan]

Then, after that, your hearts were hardened and became as stones or even worse in hardness. (Surat al-Baqarah: 74)

If the poor beggar does not get it from you, Allah is going to provide him. Feel honoured that Allah honoured you, by allowing you to give him. What I am saying is give, say thank you to the one you gave and say Alhamdulillah to Allah.
You are not doing anybody but yourself a favour.
Also keep in mind, do not belittle any good deed:
لاَ تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا
Ibn Umar radhiallahu 'anhuma used to carry sugar, which would possibly be interpreted today to mean like candy. They would say why would you give this in charity? He said because I love it and Allah said:
لَن تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ.. آل عمران: ٩٢)
By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, etc; it means hei Ilah's Reward, i.e. Paradise), unless you spend (in Allah's Cause) of that which you love. (Surat Aali Imraan: 92)

Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah) said:

Friday is a Great Day, in which prayers are performed (salat al-jumu’ah) and (many) opportunities are given to the servants of Allah for supplication (on this day), so no one should neglect it (and one must be eager to seek out the benefits of this day).

[Masaa’il of Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah), vol. 2, pg. 98]
