What would God ask?

God won't ask what kind of car you drove, but will ask how many people
you drove who didn't have transportation.

God won't ask the square footage of your house, but will ask how many
people you welcomed into your home.

God won't ask about the fancy clothes you had in your closet, but will
ask how many of those clothes helped the needy.

God won't ask about your social status, but will ask what kind of
class you displayed.

God won't ask how many material possessions you had, but will ask if
they dictated your life.

God won't ask what your highest salary was, but will ask if you
compromised your character to obtain that salary.

God won't ask how much overtime you worked, but will ask if you worked
overtime for your family and loved ones.

God won't ask how many promotions you received, but will ask how you
promoted others.

God won't ask what your job title was, but will ask if you reformed
your job to the best of your ability.

God won't ask what you did to help yourself, but will ask what you did
to help others.

God won't ask how many friends you had, but will ask how many people
to whom you were a true friend.

God won't ask what you did to protect your rights, but will ask what
you did to protect the rights of others.

God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, but will ask how you
treated your neighbors.

God won't ask about the color of your skin, but will ask about the
content of your character.

God won't ask how many times your deeds matched your words, but will
ask how many times they didn't.
