Nine Things God Won't Ask You When You Get to Heaven

Nine Things God Won’t Ask When You Get to Heaven

“For me , living is Christ and dying is gain.” Philippians 1:21

It seems like I have been doing a lot of funerals lately, so maybe that is why today’s devotional struck a chord with me.

Here are 9 things that God won’t ask you when you get to heaven:
  1. God won’t ask you want kind of car you drove. He’ll ask you how many people you drove who didn’t have transportation.
  2. God won’t ask you the square footage of your house. He’ll ask you how many people you welcomed into your house.
  3. God won’t ask you about the clothes you had in your closet. He’ll ask how many you helped to clothe.
  4. God won’t ask you 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 you how you treated your neighbors.
  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 the gates of hell.
Well … there’s something for you to ponder today! What will be our answers? Think about it. – Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s Keswick

Compass Pointers: How easy it is to blame others for our unhappiness, but we are only unhappy when something other than Christ has become our life. The husband or wife who has Christ as their life, comes to their spousal relationship already satisfied. They do not come continually looking to made happy by another person's attention; they bring Christ's life to their spouse. Francis Frangipane
