Is it true?

Is it true, God has forgotten us, hides His Face and will never see us? Have you ever forgotten your own children, hide your face and even not see them? perhap it is true that due to space and time, indeed we may not see them during the day, but forgotten? no.
The above verse are referring to those who are wicked and those who are proud. Well, you may say that we are not like them?
The purpose of my sharing this morning is : Do not think that whatever we do in the dark, our Lord do not know? Do not even say in your heart, "well, His is full of Grace and Mercy and Love, i hope He understand my situation, just cheat once, is ok, just do this or that is ok. Maybe, He is so busy that He did not see me doing this".
In the bible, some how or rather, the prophets and the Lord, knew exactly what and how the people of Israel sinned against God.
Today there many too many Christian whose living is not right before man and before God. As the bible says : we have not so learn Christ. (Eph 4:20 But you have not so learned Christ), and for those who think exactly like the above verse, let me end with the following verses :

Pro 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts.
Job 34:21 "For His eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps.
1Pe 3:12 FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ARE OPEN TO THEIR PRAYERS; BUT THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST THOSE WHO DO EVIL."

Be Blessed!

Abba Father

Praise the Lord, last night during our prayer meeting, we will filled with the our Father's love, "Abba Father" was so close to me, or as if He was right there when we called HIM: "Abba Father!" The verse says : And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" (Gal 4:6), and even our Lord Jesus Christ prayed : "And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will." (March 14:36)

This morning short sharing is concerning a brother who has a earthly father, and a sister who has no chance to say "papa, dad or father". She was a orphan. The one who has a father on earth do not actually love his earthly father, the sister who was an orphan do not even given a chance to love her earthly father. The son has the whole life to "know" what is fatherly love. The sister do not have the privilege to "know" what is fatherly love.

In her prayer, she prayed ;"although i do not have the chance to say "father" on earth, but i tks YOU that i have a Heavenly Father, "Abba Father" who is there for me". So for those who have earthly parent, pls treasure them, you do not know when they leave you and then you will say : "if only i know earlier, i will do this, do that"
I pray that we may know how to obey and love our earthly parent, and above, remember, we are blessed because we have "Abba Father!" who gave us His ONLY begotten Son, Jesus Christ that not only we have eternal life, but we can called His Father, our Father.
"Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.' " (John 20:17)

Hear what the bible says with regard to our parent :
1) 'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER,' and, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' " (Mat 19:19)

2) "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another".(John 13:34)

3) "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER," which is the first commandment with promise: "THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU AND YOU MAY LIVE LONG ON THE EARTH." (Eph 6:1-3)

And i will leave you with the following verses:
1) I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. (John 14:18)

2) Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. (James 1:27). Be Blessed!
