God Will Not Ask -- A GREAT THOUGHT PIECE FOR GRADUATES, THE GRADUATED, AND ALL THOSE HOPING TO GRADUATE TO HEAVEN

God Will Not Ask

REMEMBER THIS: YOU WERE BORN TO BE A BLESSING, THEREFORE --

God will not ask what kind of car you drove, but He will ask how many people you drove who did not have transportation.

God will not ask the square footage of your house, but He will ask how many people you welcomed into your home.

God will not ask about the clothes you had in your closet, but He will ask how many people you helped to clothe.

God will not ask what your highest salary was, but He will ask if you compromised your character to obtain it, and how much of your earnings you gave to the church.

God will not ask what your job title was, but He will ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability, as unto Jesus himself.

God will not ask how many friends you had, but He will ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

God will not ask in what neighborhood you lived, but He will ask how you treated your neighbors.

God will not ask about the color of your skin, but He will ask about the content of your character.

God will not ask about your social status, but He will ask what kind of class you displayed to others, especially to those less fortunate than you.

God will not ask how many material possessions you had, but He will ask if they dictated your life.

God will not ask about the quality of the food you ate, but about how much food you helped hungry people to have.

God will not ask how much overtime you worked, but He will ask if your overtime work was for yourself or for your family.

God will not ask how rich you were, but how you enriched other people’s lives, especially when you blessed the poor.

God will not ask how many promotions you received, but He will ask how you promoted others.

God will not ask what you did to help yourself, but He will ask what you did to help others.

God will not ask what you did to protect your rights, but He will ask what you did to protect the rights of others.

God will not ask you about your body type, but He will ask how many times you used your body as a vehicle to do service for others.

God will not ask how many times your deeds matched your words, but He will ask how many times they did not.

God will not ask why it took you so long to seek salvation, but He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.
