**On the day of judgment, surely, we shall not be asked what we have read but what we have done; not how well we have spoken but how well we have lived.**

The “wow” words for me today.

And then there is the last sentence:

**He who does God’s will and renounces his own is truly very learned.**

“In the future life the Christian is not examined if he has renounced the whole world for Christ’s love, or if he has distributed his riches to the poor or if he fasted or kept vigil or prayed, or if he wept and lamented for his sins, or if he has done any other good in this life, but he is examined attentively if he has any similitude with Christ, as a son does with his father.” +Symeon the New Theologian
