The other day I was talking with a friend who asked, “In heaven, do you think we’ll care enough to ask God: ‘Why did So-and-So thrive on earth when You know they mistreated people and seemed so full of pride?’”
Hmmm, good question. Maybe you know someone like that who runs a business. But especially if they serve a ministry, their successes can be really surprising, even frustrating, because of what you know. “Why, O Lord, do you stand far off?” (Ps. 10)
Then I thought, “If people even care about these things in heaven, how many would be asking God about me?”
It was a comfort to me to think that in heaven, in the presence of Almighty God, all these kinds of questions will melt away. They just won’t matter anymore.
Are you bothered by leaders who don’t seem to try to lead like Jesus? Are you curious about how others perceive you as a leader?
