More than living life

Onces there was a young christian following Christ.

During school days, the Lord came one night into the room and he asked, " My child, are you going to spend some time alone with me today?" The heart of child answered," i got too much homework to do,next time lord." The Lord smiled and left. On the second night, the Lord came and asked," My child, do you have any time for me today?" The heart of child answered," i got my projects and other CCAs to handle, i got no time, next time lord. The Lord smiled and left. On the third night, the Lord came and asked," My child, shall we spend some time together today for a while?" The heart of child answered," i am too tired, i need to rest and get some entertainment, next time lord." The Lord smiled again but left with disappointment.

After studying, the christian got a new job. One night, the Lord came into the room and asked," you have grown up my follower, are you going to spend some time with me today?" The heart of adult answered," i got lots of work to do, i have no time, next time lord." The lord smiled and left. On the second night, the lord came and asked," my follower, do you have any time for me today?" The heart of adult answered," i have to work hard to climb up to my top positions so that i can get my credit cards, my car, my condo and my status, or else people will look down at me, next time lord." The lord gave a worried glance at the christian and left. On the third night, the Lord came and asked," my follower, shall we spend some time together today for a while?" The heart of adult answered," i need built up my social life, i need to go out with many friends so that i can find a good life partner soon. next time lord." The lord quietly left.

The christian got married and have some children. One night, the Lord came into the room and asked, " you have now become a parent, you have your credit cards, house, car, status, career and family, are you going to spend some time for me today?" The heart of parent answered," now i have to work in my company and raise up my kids, give my kids a bright future, i am busy, next time lord. The lord shook his head and left. On the second night, the Lord came and asked, " young parent, do you have anytime for me today?" The heart of parent answer," i need to prepare my child for courses and enrichment programs and planning for a vacation when hoilday started, next time lord. The Lord silently left. On the third night, the lord asked," Can we spent sometime together for a while, so that i could give you some advices of been a parent?" The heart of parent answered," I am too tired today after work and tomorrow i have to bring my kids to school early, next time lord." The lord left without another word.

Soon, the christian retired from work and the children had their grand children.
At this moment, one night, the Lord came into the room and asked," you are now a grand parent and have everything you desired, are you going to spent some time for me today?" The heart of the old answered," i still have to take care of my grand children and cook for my children, next time lord. The lord walk away. On the second night, the Lord came and asked, " grand parent, do you have any time for me alone today, or anything to say today?" The heart of the old answered," i need to write and set my wills before i died, so that my children will not fight over my properties and killing each other because of money, fame and status..."
The old Christian weeped.
On the third night, the Lord came, at the last moment, the 80 years old Christian already got prepared to meet the Lord in a personal room. The Lord asked," grand parent, shall we spend so time together alone for a while?"
The old christian kneel, with tears streaming down from the eyes in desperation and despair.
Then, the old christian answered," Lord, i have failed and disappointed you many times in life, why dont you let go me..........."

The Lord answered," For your age, i can raise up two Mosses in this era, but ever since the day you chosen to believe in me, i will still not let you go until your last breath, because i know the day would come for you to knee down in front of me after i gave sufficient time to let you realised the mistakes that you have made in life and turned to me at this hour of time. You may miss out the good things i have try to give you in life but you will be still be with me in heaven if you repent. Let me filled you up by my spirit and back to life which it suppose to be.......my child.

Sometimes in life, when we are young, we are rushing for getting good grades and certificates which stresses us.

Sometimes in life, when we are adult, we are rushing for getting our desires for money, fame and life partner who does not suits us.

Sometimes in life, when we are parents, we are rushing for getting the best for our children and worldly future which worried us and does not satisfy us.
Sometimes in life, when we are old, we are rushing to get back all the communions when we had realised how much we have lost with the Lord and others who we really love.

My people, the Lord is knocking at the hearts of our door everyday. Blindfold your eyes off the world which does not belongs to us, stay focus on him , seek him everyday and night little by little, time by time and he will reviewed your destiny of who you suppose to be.
No matter mountains collapse or calamities falls, under the shadow of almighty will never befall.
