“God Knows” by Joan Y. Edwards
In 2012, after I received an email with Lil Phoenix poem entitled “Ten Things God Won’t Ask on THAT Day:” I decided to put a different spin to it. God already knows the answers. I posted this on a different blog of mine in 2012. I thought you might enjoy it here.
“God Knows” by Joan Y. Edwards
- God knows what kind of car you drive. He loves it when you drive people who don’t have transportation.
- God knows how big your house is. Joy fills his heart when you welcome others into your home.
- God knows how many clothes are in your closet. He rewards you when you help put clothes on others.
- God knows how much money you make. He increases it when you share it with others.
- God knows your job title. He helps you rise higher when you do your job to the best of your ability.
- God knows how many friends you have. He smiles each time you act friendly toward other people, even if they don’t act friendly toward you.
- God knows the neighborhood where you live. He is proud of all that you do your part to keep it safe, clean, neat, and orderly.
- God knows the color of your skin. He is happy when you treat others with respect, regardless of their skin color.
- God knows your strengths and weaknesses. He celebrates when you accept yourself and others as you are and choose to follow in His footsteps.
- God knows how many people you meet on His path. He rejoices when you take time to encourage others on their trails He loves you very much.
