I put 2 and 2 together about something.Sometimes when you're younger,out of inexperience and lack of foresight, you make "life mistakes" that don't just affect you in that time frame, because they're at a "pivital" time in your life{teenage years}{the bridge between childhood and adulthood, the years where decisions you make will set you up for life.I can think of 2 main ones ,2 catergories, but both caused by the same mindset, an immature mindset that I didn't take one thing seriously, and the other , some misjudgements,which, by the time I realized it, it was too late to change it. BUT, in line with what I'm saying,let's look at it spiritually. "God chose the weak things."Whereas others made the "right moves",and are now "successes" according to most peoples view of success, the executive with the beautiful wife, making $200,000 a year, is in so many cases in spiritual trouble__marital problems, maybe an alchoholic ,sooo..it makes me think, maybe my "dumb decisions" in my younger years was part of the pattern, that being a "loser" by the worlds standards,was actually part of the pattern for God to lead me to him.{Although it could work the other way, a "sucessful" person, the $200,000 a year executive, I've read in Gospel tracts, peoples testimonies that they had all the "success" in the world, but they had unhappiness, a drug habit, marital problems, etc., but then, God touched them and they got saved.}But in my specific case, it was more of a "weak things of the world" situation.

That's what I meant, a "loser" by the worlds way of thinking, but God chose us.
Amen thank you Jesus
All the money and all the power you or I would have right now will not enter heaven. Material possesions and all degrees we got here on eath will not enter the gates of glory. The only thing we will take to the holy presence of Jesus in heaven is this. The lost souls that we brought to Jesus feet and the eternal word of God written down in our hearts. So, do not worry about who is making more money right now. Worry about how many souls your brought to Jesus, how many churches you have built for Him and memorize Gods word in obey what it says.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."
