God won't Ask... but He Asks...

A very special person sms’ed me one night: “…Rich…” (My nickname)
I replied: “I’m poor…
Then the person quickly responded, “… but I think you got a rich heart.
I don’t really get what the person meant by ‘rich heart’, never heard such thing before. But deep inside, I knew that it was a compliment. The person care less either I’m rich or not, the person sees my heart. It was a wake-up call. I re-realized that there are things in our life that are not really important if we are to compare it all in what God consider important.

God won’t ask what kind of car you drove; Mercedes, Honda, Kancil, Viva etc. He asks how many people you drove who didn’t have transportation.

God won’t ask how big and luxury is your house; with swimming pool and automatic gate system. He asks how many people you welcomed into your home.

God won’t ask about the clothes you had in your closet; K-Pop design, Bling Bling accessories, or how expensive your clothes are. He asks how many you helped to clothe.

God won’t ask how much is your salary; RM100 or RM1,000 or RM10,000 or RM100k per month. He asks how you invest it.

God won’t ask what is your job title is; marketing executive, restaurant manager, teacher, dish washer, contractor etc. He asks if you perform your job to the best of your ability.

God won’t ask how many friends you have (or how many Facebook’s friends you have). He asks how many people to whom you are a friend.

God won’t ask in what neighborhood you live. He asks how you treat your neighbors.

God won’t ask about the color of your skin; Chinese, Indian, Malay or other indigenous races in Malaysia. He asks about the content of your character.

THINK BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP there are things in our life
that are not really important
if we are to compare it all
in God’s perspective.
