FURTHER SEEMS FOREVER

THIRTIETHmarchtwoohohseven

it's been a month of online devotions now.
and looking back, i'm surprised how what God has to say to us is quite endless.
it can never be enough.

and today it was,
" This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares. " - Romans 2:16

yeap.
each of us has our secrets.
deep, dark, secrets.
deep, dark, personal, secret, secrets.
that we thought no one would know.
or ever find out.
but someone knows.
someone will find out.
on the day of judgement,
all will be revealed.

God sees everything.
even the unseen.
the thoughts in ur head.
the feelings in ur heart.
the emotions running through ur veins.
God sees it all.
in vivid colour.
in vivid 12485760-bit colour.

and the stuff u thought went unnoticed will be brought to light.
on the day of judgement.
every single stuff.
even the stuff u forgot about.
"eh? i got do this meh? when har..?"

sometimes we forget that we will be judged.
sometimes we forget that God is there with us.
watching.
grieving.
crying.
forgiving.

we need to remember.
that we will still be judged for every sin.
that God is watching us.
but that Jesus has already paid the price for our sins.
so that when we stand trial, God the Judge will read the verdict and say,
"INNOCENT. Sentence paid in FULL. By the blood of the Lamb."

Lord, thank you for your mercy and grace. o how much you love us.

a nice little oldie song to remind us, that,
"God is watching us, God is watching us. God is watching us, from a distance.."

and that song will be playing in my head every time i feel the urge of temptation beckoning.
