Ten things God won't ask

I think this has some timely reminders for us, although I don't go quite the whole way with it. These are good principles for living whether you believe in a god or not.

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

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

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

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

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

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

God won’t ask in what neighbourhood you lived, He’ll ask how you treated your neighbours.

God won’t ask about the colour of your skin, He’ll ask about the content of your character.

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.

God won’t have to ask how many people you showed this to, He already knows your decision.

Except for the tenth one, these questions do indicate a good way to live. Thanks for posting them.
