Will Jesus Find us Watching?
Managed to catch a movie : Knowing.it was in fact a very remindful movie...
reminded me whether when end times come will i be caught doing something displeasing to GOD?
Would i be watching for His coming or would i be caught earning more money?
or even in the midst of sin?
Matthew 25:1-13
Will we be caught not watching(v.13) like the bride in the parable?
This reminded me of a hymn i remember during church camp in sec sch...

When Jesus comes to reward His servants,'
Whether it be noon or night,
Faithful to Him will He find us watching,
With our lamps all trimmed and bright?
Refrain
O can we say we are ready, brother?
Ready for the soul’s bright home?
Say, will He find you and me still watching,Waiting, waiting when the Lord shall come?
If, at the dawn of the early morning,
He shall call us one by one,
When to the Lord we restore our talents,
Will He answer thee—“Well done”?
Refrain
Have we been true to the trust He left us?
Do we seek to do our best?
If in our hearts there is naught condemns us,
We shall have a glorious rest.
Refrain
Blessèd are those whom the Lord finds watching,
In His glory they shall share;
If He shall come at the dawn or midnight,
Will He find us watching there?
Refrain
Indeed blessed are those who the LORD finds watching... are we watching for the LORD?
"Knowing" was indeed a remindful movie of LORD's second coming.. i'm looking forward to see JESUS tell me "well done good and faithful servant"
bros and sis, wait and watch upon Him.

GOD's love
LOVE.
This is an amazing word. Over the past weeks, GOD taught me so much about this word "love". LOVE is such a powerful word from GOD. I have learnt to grow to love ppl around me GOD's way.
Can we fanthom such great unconditional love?
Can we even understand HOW GREAT is His love?
Today i stand in awe of GOD's love because i know i am not worthy of that love.. but yet GOD gave me that love. Can you imagine the patience He as towards me? Seeing me sin again and again and again against Him but yet HE LOVES ME!
No human can do that! seeing someone so dear sin and sin and sin and sin and sin again.. but HE response in LOVE.
Isnt His dictionary of "LOVE" sooooooooo great?
I know GOD is growing me this season.. because i've been starting to see Him work and mould me and show me my inadequacy.
I am excited to let Him grow me.
I reflected upon this "LOVE" and i realised i want to be like GOD.
I want to be like Him to love all around me with that UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and Patience.
I am unable to achieve perfect love but i strive to grow to be like Him.
I ask myself what is it to give Unconditional love?
Think along with me here... UNCONDITIONED !! means no matter how much someone hurts you or do not appreciate your love, you still LOVE.
I want to learn to be christ like.
This week towards easter. i know GOD is telling me to love my friends, family and even "enemies" with LOVE.
Went back to my previous church to attend an easter Cantala.. whoo..
i must say i really miss hymns..
the worship style is definitely different from covenant and i know i felt less "stressed" in a way. I guess i understood the meaning of "seat-warming" worship .. it felt really good to be back in that worship =p I started to wonder what convicted me that covenant was the convicted church that i am sure GOD called me to.. haha. i guess my answers are still in the midst of formulating. =)
Nevertheless, the theme of their easter was "no greater love"
it was such a wonderful musical presentation of the everlasting gospel (Matthew).
i was reminded indeed! there is NO GREATER LOVE that GOD's.
AMEN.
