A pastor was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, 'Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.' The Lord led the pastor to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the pastor looked in.
In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew which smelled delicious and made the pastor's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful, but because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The pastor shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
The Lord said, 'You have seen Hell.'
They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the pastor's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.
The pastor said, 'I don't understand.'
It is simple' said the Lord, 'it requires but one skill. You see, they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves.'
Php 2:4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. NIV
Php 2:4 Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. TMB
