"GOD WON'T ASK"

Have you ever been called into the boss' office to answer questions? It can be a fearful event. Did you know God asks questions too? For instance, in the Old Testament, He asked Adam in the garden, “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9). In the New Testament, Jesus asked His disciples many questions, such as, "Who do people say I am?" (Matthew 16:13). But there are many questions that God will never ask! * God won't ask what kind of car you drove, but He will ask how many people you transported who needed help. * God won't ask how big your house was, but He will ask how many people you welcomed into your home. * God won't ask about the clothes in your closet, but He will ask how many you helped clothe. * God won't ask how many material posses-sions you had, but He will ask if they dictated your life. * God won't ask what your highest salary was, but He will ask if you compromised your character to obtain it. * God won't ask how many promotions you received, but He will ask whether you promoted others. * God won't ask what your job title was, but He will ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability. * God won't ask how many friends you had, but He will ask to how many people you had been a friend. * God won't ask what you did to protect your rights, but He will ask what you did to protect the rights of others. * God won't ask in what neighbourhood you lived, but He will ask how you treated your neighbours.
