a meaningful story- the room

when i read this story written in i kissed dating goodbye this book,by joshua harris , it brought a lot of thoughts and feelings to me.it arouses my emotions.. let me recommend u this story.. read it till the end and share a thot with me..

at first of typing the whole story but is kinda long yet short story.. so let me summarize..
is bout a dream that he had.he found himself in a room, look like library with a look of files and books around. like in the library, there are different titles and headings. through his surprise, he found books with heading like "Girls i have liked", "Books i have read", "Lies have i told","Comfort i have give", "Jokes i have laughed at",or even "things i have yelled at my brother", "things i have muttered under my breath at my parents" , " things i have done in my anger", "friends i have betrayed" and even " people i have shared the gospel with " and the title of the books go on and on.. every content in the books written the names he is familiar..he never ceased to be surprised by the contents. often there were many more pages than he expected in some books and for some books there were fewer pages than he hoped.each pages of all these books was signed by his signature and written with his handwritting.

all the good, bad events, every words he said and even those that was in his mind like "lustful thoughts" was all written down and compile in books.. then come to his senses that all these books should not be read or found by others.. no one should enter this room..then, in his desperation, he tries to tear every book, every page or burn it but the work just failed.. it can never be destroyed.he then cried with shame and began to weep.when suddenly..........

someone came to the room.. the man look at him(the author) and began to read all those books in the room..the man- Jesus... he watched helplessly when Jesus began to read and he couldn't bear to watch Jesus's responses.finally, Jesus turned and look back to him, with compassion and pity in His eyes, Jesus didn't say a single word, nor was He angry, He just cry with him. then Jesus got up and walked back to the wall of books. starting at one end of the room, He took out a file and one by one, began to sign His name over the author's signature on each pages..the name of Jesus covered his name, it is written with His blood. after He signed all the books, He placed His hands over the author's shoulder and said, "it is finished"
the author left the room with Jesus. but there was no lock on the door, there were still pages to be written.
~the end~
after reading it, my heart paused.. how many books will there in my room of library?? i just feel ashamed even when i think of it.we are no worhty yet Jesus come and cancel our signature on every page, taking our sins.. out of love, JEsus came.. remember Jesus cancel our name but every things or words or thoughts we do, still written there. not deleted.. it makes me to be careful of what i say, what i do, what i think in the future to come. as christian, it is written in the bible, one day we will be put into account of what we do.. i hope from today onwards, i will write my life on good account for His glory not mine....

what's ur thoughts after reading it??

Hey, very good post! yea, i do agree with you.. sometimes we tend to forgot His great love and kept on sinning.. and God has been so faithful.. He said, if we confess, He will be just and faithful to forgive us. How awesome is that??!!! He is good..

疫情之隔离篇

这是我第一次收到通知正式的隔离 隔离期为 4 天  在放了一星期充实的农历新年假 上班的第一天后被告知为密切者(close contact) 我的学姐确诊了 但是她却非常担心我们 可想而知她有多内疚 我呢,其实没有很担心会被确诊 可能很多人都持有这种心态吧 总觉得不会是这么幸运。...
