The following article came to me recently and I contended that I should pass it on.  It has been slightly edited and a conclusion added.

I asked God why I wasn't rich.  He showed me a man with the wealth of a thousand kings, who was lonely, and had no one to share it with.

I asked God why I wasn't beautiful.  He showed me a woman more beautiful than any other, who was ugly because of her vanity.

I asked God why He'd allowed me to become old.  He showed me a boy of 16, who lay dead at the scene of a car accident.

I asked God why I didn't have a bigger house.  He showed me a family of six, who had just been evicted from their tiny shack, and were forced, to live on the street.

I asked God why I had to work.  He showed me a man, who couldn't find a decent job, because he'd never learned to read.

I asked God why I wasn't more popular.  He showed me a socialite with a thousand friends, who all left the moment the money and parties were no longer there.

 I asked God why I wasn't smarter.  He showed me a natural born genius, serving life in prison for making ill use of his knowledge.

I asked God why He put up with a thankless sinner  like me.
He showed me His Bible.  He showed me His Son who took my place at the judgment.  I knew then how much He loved me.

What's eating us today?   Are our problems weighing heavy on our heart?  Remember then, that we are loved.   May we have a great day!
Then - may we brighten someone else's day. Remember, a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.  Let’s burn oneself out for God!

   Plainly, don’t get short changed.  Let’s be ready to meet our Maker.  The Bible (in Acts) teaches that to avoid hell and gain heaven - one must:

1) Believe In Jesus As Savior (16:31)  2) Repent Of Sins  (17:30)  

3) Confess Christ Audibly (8:37)  4) Be Baptized In  Water (2:38)  

5) Live A  Christian Life (14:22)   6) Be Active In the Church (2:47)
