God Won't Ask..

I found this poem today and just thought I'd share it with you:

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

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

God won't ask about the clothes you have in your closet, but he'll ask how many otheres you helped to clothe.

God won't ask your social status: He will ask what kind of class you displayed.

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

God won't ask what your highest salary was, but he'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.

God won't ask how much overtime you worked but he will ask if you worked the overtime for yourself or your family.

God won't ask how many promotions you recieved, but he will ask how 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 what you did to help yourself but he will ask what you did to help others.

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 neighborhood you lived, but he will ask how you treated your neighbors.

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

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

God won't ask how many friends you had. But he will ask how many people to whom you were a friend.
