the reality of my life

I got a kick in the face this afternoon. Reading The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren, for the second time, I found this little gem of an excerpt (honestly, I really didn't want to hear this or answer the questions):

.

One day you will stand before God, and he will do an audit of your life, a final exam, before you enter eternity.

.

The Bible says, "Remember, each of us will stand personally before the judgement seat of God....Yes, each of us will have to give a personal account to God." Romans 14:10b, 12 (NLT) Fortunately, God wants us to pass the test, so he has given us the questions in advance. From the Bible we can surmise that God will ask us two crucial questions:

.

First, "What did you do with my Son, Jesus Christ?" God won't ask about your religious background or doctrinal views. The only thing that will matter is, did you accept what Jesus did for you and did you learn to love and trust him?

.

Second, "What did you do with what I gave you?" What did you do with your life-all the gifts, talents, opportunities, energy, relationships, and resources God gave you? Did you spend them on yourself, or did you use them for the purposes God made you for?
