What God Won't Ask

 God won't ask what kind of fancy car you drove. He will ask how many
people you took to church who didn't have transportation.

God won't ask the square footage of your house. He will ask how many
people you helped who didn't have a house.

God won't ask how many material possessions you had. He will ask
whether those material possessions dictated your life.

God won't ask what your highest salary was. He will ask if you
trampled over any people to obtain that salary.

God won't ask how many promotions you received. He will ask what
you did to promote others.

God won't ask what your job title was. He will ask did you perform
your job to the best of your ability.

God won't ask how many promotions you took to chase a dollar
bill. He will ask how many promotions you refused to advance your
family's quality of life.

God won't ask how many times you didn't run around on your spouse.  
He will ask how many times you did.

God won't ask how many degrees you had. He will ask how many
people you thanked for helping you get those degrees.

God won't ask what you did to help yourself.

He will ask what you did to help others.

God won't ask how many friends you had.

He will ask how many people you were a friend to.

God won't ask what you did to protect your rights. He will ask what
you did to protect the right of others.

God won't ask how many times you told the truth. He will ask how
many times you told a lie.

God won't ask about the color of your skin. He will ask about the
color of your heart.

God won't ask how many times your deeds matched your words. He
will ask how many times they didn't.

God won't ask what neighborhood you lived in. He will ask what
other neighborhoods you visited.

 

"God ordinarily will not show you His will in order for you to consider
it. He will show you His will when He knows you are willing to do it."
