TIME He has given us.. TIME He will also take away from us..



i never knew how precious time was until i became a faithful servant of JESUS CHRIST. if i remember right, i was still a child when i heard about one of the famous sayings you can write in a 'SLUM BOOK', TIME IS GOLD.

rationally, it actually makes a lot of sense.. it applies to your career, relationships or even hobbies or anything that relates to your everyday life.. getting productive and own accomplishment manifest that we have spend our Time successfully. Indeed its as precious as Gold, because any minute, day, week or a year wasted will never come back.. however it also gives us HOPE to see our future ahead, the time wasted is completely behind us and never it will come back to regain its glory..

when you are one with the Lord.. i mean, reeaaally seek His Righteousness to be pure in thoughts and loving in words.. Holy is the HOly Spirit who will make you understand the meaning of Life..

being a TRUE follower helps you realize that LIFE is not bad at all.. some people or believers consider life as successful if they reached the time of their life when they get accepted by the society or their friends as someone they wanted to be accepted.. A doctor is successful taking his TIME studying and living a productive life as friends or society accepted him to be a famous doctor.. is that a life? or a beggar trying to spend his precious time begging money for food because thats the only ways and means according to him to get his life going.. probably the beggar's life is not a well-spend time because he was not productive making money for a better living..


TIME IS A PRECIOUS "FREE" GIFT from the LORD... even i considered TIME as a PRECIOUS DIAMOND that illuminates pure blessing to serve our purpose on this materialistic world.
The moment we were born in this world, GOD already knows all about us (PSALM 139).. even the time when we are going to ruin our lives.. So when GOD allowed us to live our life, he also give us TIME (ECCLESIASTES 3)..

so then we will be given THE CHANCESSSSSS to realize, WHAT HAVE WE DONE WITH THE FREE GIFT OF TIME? Was it successful being a doctor? Did the doctor really served GOD's gift? I am sure, GOD will never let you become a beggar, so what have you done from the gift of Time? Did you make use of your given time to be productive and not just wait for GOD to provide for you?

as i constantly seek His wisdom.. i realized when GOD gives us a GIFT of abundance LIFE, He also gives us precious TIME to serve our purpose in this LIFE, and your purpose in this life must lead to HIS GLORY.. When time and life did not serve its purpose, its His will to take it away from you..

i will serve my purpose if every moment of my life can manifest GOD's glory..
i will serve my time productively if it will be used to minister the Word of GOD..

as i said, the time he has given us are gift of chances to serve our purpose. DID YOU HEAR HIM CALLING YOU? When GOD knocks at your door, did you open it from the heart and mind? or you open it because you need something to give you pleasure and uplift your status in the society? Did you open the door faithfully that you will accept any test of faith he will give you? because he will definitely test our faith for him to know if we are ready for His JUDGEMENT.

the hurdles of life such as bitterness, hurt, failure and other storms in our lives, are strong points to help us FOCUS on our purpose in life -- a simple purpose and that is to see the wonderful works of GOD'S GLORY.. and as one of HIS FAVORITE CREATION, WE must take care of His other gifts for our own sake.. and giving back HIS GLORY is as easy as praising and worshipping HIM.. as simple as seeking his righteousness which will not even harm you or others.. so what's in it with you that you cannot surrender yourself to your own CREATOR? and ask yourself, AFTER THIS LIFE and you know you will die soon, what do you think will happen when TIME of living runs out?

how loving is our CREATOR when HE give us CHANCES to live our LIFE and ENJOY OUR TIME on His CREATION too, the WORLD we live in right now..

ahhh.. time is really precious.. please do not let it slip away just like that.. He gives it to you.. He might also take it away from you.. so be ready my friend.. but i understand, how many times i also failed to open the door for HIM.. so when i finally opened it, i never look back.. i look forward and even excited to see what other gifts he can give me.. in the FREE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE..



i offer each and every moment of my TIME for Him and hopefully nothing is wasted.. i strive hard to be successful using my TIME now.. because i realized i already had the time of my life, when SIN are normal everyday.. wasted time for me now is when i did sinful thoughts and actions.. so why i waste it now when i finally see the TRUTH about THE TIME of my LIFE... and the time of my life is offered to GOD who has given me all these gifts even the gift of my PAST because ALL THOSE TIME AS SINFUL AS I WAS, GOD WAS WITH ME ALL ALONG.. Until HE FINALLY KNOCKED LIKE HE NEVER KNOCK MY DOOR BEFORE.. (now thats not a wasted time)

i rely now on GOD'S PERFECT TIMING and i know its all for my own well-being.. as i offer my time on earth for GOD, i will make use of HIS TIME faithfully..

USE YOUR TIME WISELY BY SERVING YOUR PURPOSE IN THIS WORLD.


Revelation 21:3-7 And I heard a great voice out of the heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." And He that sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said unto me, "Write: for these words are true and faithful." And He said unto me, "It is done. I am Alpha nd Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son."
