recently, bsf was doing on the end times. and one of the qns that was posted challenged us to think about if we look forward to Christ's return--His Second Coming. this got me thinking hard. i said both yes and no. yes because it would mean the end of suffering and being with God. no because I cannot give a good account to Him yet. i believe the front part was talking abt being ready and the hour unknown. so that got me thinking about being accountable to God. that was last week's qns. and this week, it continued on the end times with 3 parables: the 10 virgins, the talents and the sheep & goats. talking about being ready, giving a good account and caring for Christians and ppl arnd. the 2nd one got me thinking again. am i ready to give God an account for all i've done and said? will i receive the praise that i'm His good and faithful servant? will i be able to give a good report to Him and be like the one 5 virgins who managed to enter the wedding? or the servant who has 5 talents or the one who has 10 talents and earned a double-fold? or the one who has cared for the brothers which is like caring for Jesus? well, there were things i did in the past that were wrong and i can't give any reply when God asks me to give an account. but as i think further, i realised that i cannot undo what i did. all i can do is bring it to the Lord, confess my sins, not carry the guilt on my shoulder and to move on being more conscious that i need to give an account to God at the end of the day. so to my Christian readers (and non-Christians), are you able to give a good account to God when He returns? --------------------------------- |
