TEN THINGS GOD WON'T ASK

1. … God won’t ask what kind of car you drove. He’ll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.


2. … God won’t ask the square footage of your house, He’ll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.


3. … God won’t ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He’ll ask how many you helped to clothe.


4. … God won’t ask what your highest salary was. He’ll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.


5. … God won’t ask what your job title was. He’ll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.


6. … God won’t ask how many friends you had. He’ll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.


7. … God won’t ask in what neighborhood you lived. He’ll ask how you treated your neighbor.


8. … God won’t ask about the color of your skin. He’ll ask about the content of your character.


9. … God won’t ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation. He’ll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.


10. … God won’t have to ask how many people you forwarded this to. He already knows your decision.
