God won’t ask what kind of car you drive.
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 in your home.
God won’t ask about the clothes you had in your closet. He’ll ask how many you helped clothe.
God won’t ask what your highest salary was. He’ll ask if you compromised your character to achieve it.
God won’t ask what your job title was. He’ll ask if you performed to the best of your ability.
God won’t ask how many friends you had. He’ll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.
God won’t ask in what neighborhood you lived. He’ll ask how you treated your neighbors.
God won’t ask about the color 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 a mansion in Heaven and not to the gates of Hell.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Neither are your ways, My ways,” declares the LORD.
Isaiah 55:8
