Things God Won’t Ask

God won’t ask what kind of car you drove; He’ll ask how many people you drove who didn’t have transportation.

God’s Letter

My child, You may not know me, but I know everything about you (Psalm 139:1). I know when you sit down and when you rise up (Psalm 139:2). I am familiar with your ways (Psalm 139:3).

I chose you even before I planned creation (Ephesians 1:11-12). You were not a mistake;...
