How often do you really enjoy your relationship with God? There are times when we may really appreciate Christ for who He is, and what He has done. As a result we may find that we are very thankful that He came and saved us. And while you may be filled with a spirit of thankfulness, is that really the same thing as enjoying your relationship with the Creator of Life?
There are brief, dynamic moments when we truly enjoy our relationship with Christ. These instances are more likely to be during times of prayer, fasting, or especially worship. These dynamic moments are windows into what our life will be like in heaven. But now the question becomes, are we looking forward to the person we will encounter in heaven or the place itself. Randy Alcorn writes that the two attitudes should really be the desire, and that there should be no distinction between the two. After all, what is heaven without God?" Every thought of Heaven should move our hearts toward God, just as every thought of God will move our hearts 'above' in Heaven, where Christ is, not just 'set your hearts on God' (Col. 3:1-2)."
It is hard to imagine eternity, because we live in a temporal world. Even so, we are called to fix our gaze on heaven, because that is the place where dynamic encounters with God in which we will be filled to the brim of our innermost being with joy, peace, worship and life, will be the norm, not the exception.

Another Accounts
Beware! All these are for my own accounts to God. For further reference and for 2 Cor 1:3-7
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
In just a short spam of 1 -2 weeks, and since the last accounts, things are moving fast.
Was doing a survey on a hypothetical scenario that did happened. I structured the scenario as follows:
The scenario goes like this:
2 main Characters, Eel(Male) and Nil (Female).
Eel was telling Nil about the verse in Gen 2:21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh.
And after that, Eel told Nil that he would like to let God put him to a deep sleep. This will allow God the time to make Eel's best mate
Thus after hearing this, Nil immediately ask Eel to wake up.
So the question. Why would Nil ask Eel to wake up?
The feedback I got was not something I like to hear though so of expected. I only shake my head and tell God.....OMG...untimely seeds sown......and I get to reap the untimely reap later...
So thinking just wanted to finding out when leaving and to where.....although other thoughts came after the above scenario review, I just got to shaff them off.. Thank God....everything falls apart. God is just protecting. Thank God. As today, I realised that God is bringing me through a journey of being disciplined and focused. Focusing is something that haunts me sometimes ago as I was trying to be focus on studies and neglected relationship. Thus being totally focused is something I am not comfortable. However, I feel the freedom to do so...but I pray that God will give me the sensitivity to approach that. God you are just so soverign.
So well I guess I sent a simple direct SMS, may not be the purest refined intention, and mis-use of a word that I commonly like to use...I will wait for you...I will wait...To me that may hold lots of meaning....however it is a manner of show patience and willingness to wait for the opportunity to come about.
Then came....Guard your heart.....SOL words.....faintz.....didn't think before I type SMS...Stunning Magnifying System - SMS...faintz....Well to find a way to reduce the situation which is truth, I mentioned lunch, which is truth as I am barking since beginning of the year, since I start to creep back to church life. Barking like jealous Kopi...haha ya funny....Anywhere, I am really so tempted to do a knee-jerk reaction and go the other extreme...though I apologies for the mis-use of words and misconduct. This seems to signal that I need to really go to deep sleep as I have declared and believe God will bring the woman to the man. Gen 2:21-22 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
Then upon that, I was reminded of the incident and pain that I went through in Uni. Entitled in a simple way. Blessed to the point of crying at the altar. It was something that I couldn't bear even now to do again. I remember telling God and making arrangement, I will stop blessing girls, pre-believer or believers that will cause them to stumble and cry out to God for healing at the altar. I remember telling God, if it is your will for me to do so, I will do it again...in pain and fear, unsure and uncertain, I still have the same prayer to God now, just a little more.....If it is your will for me to do so again, I am willing to do it again.. Please protect me and help me walk through this journey. It is another pivotal point of my life which took me 1 + years to recognise, by God's grace I need to repent and seek forgiveness...which till now, I didn't have the opportunity to seek forgiveness from the girl in person. Will I need to seek forgiveness....God only you know. That period I reckon was to break what I want....only girls to chase me. God you will need to lead me again on this thing. God, oh Holy God, to where you will lead me, let me follow you. Let me be not at a place where you will not be around. I want more than a visitation, more than a visit, more than just mere appearance. I want your presence, your dwelling. 5 years I walk 1 whole round. 10 years I am back to where I was....wiser and older, many 10 years or 5 years I need to walk through before I learn to obey?
There are times, as I write here, and I believe not only once, that I wish I was not a male but a female. How come do I choose this lifestyle. Perhaps initially that choice was wrong, but everything after that, you will prove me wrong. As I look back, I only can say Thank God, for it is God's plan and purpose. And You are always there for me, even when I am not aware of Your presence
So far I know I may had hurts the feelings of your daughters....so it is time that one of them will hurt mine? If that is Your will, I accept in faith. Teach me what is installed and learn more about You. The key point I would pray and seek for is...in the end of the whole chapter that I can give thanks to you in all and believeing You more deeply. However it is for you to decide and not me to.
Forgive me for being emotional Lord. For You told me....to seal up my emotions in a box and place the box in a place of pleasure. All things will be great in Your all knowing hands. For in all situation and happening, there is a God's purpose for something great and glorfies God.
