Indeed our riches must be stored in things of God rather than things of this world.Thats not to say God doesnt want us to have things and strive to succeed and prosper.But in allowing them to master our souls and making it a God before OUR God we are deceiving ourselves of what the Lord really meant when he said "his plans are to prosper you"
In reading the below, consider how you would answer each question and ask yourself what legacy you will leave behind.I know when i received this I started to think of the kind of person I would like to be remmebered as and whether I would be able to answer each question with confidence when i stand before the Lord.Thanks Clare for sending this to me!
NINE THINGS GOD WON'T ASK ON THAT DAY.
1... God won't ask what kind of car you drove. He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't 't have transportation.
2... God won't! Ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you u welcomed into your home.
3... God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He'll ask how many you helped to clothe.
4... God won't ask 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 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 to the gates of Hell.
