耶路撒冷的眾女子啊，我指著羚羊或田野的母鹿囑咐你們：不要驚動、不要叫醒我所親愛的，等他自己情願。

雅歌2:7

I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
by the gazelles or the does of the field,
that you not stir up or awaken love
until it pleases.

What I got today from Jesus is: Jesus is waiting for you

Song of Songs is a book using love songs to describe the love of God to us and with us. It's about the lover and His beloved. It's about Jesus and you.

It's about how patient Jesus waits for you to come back to Him. Be willing to be loved by Him as your husband. Be obedience to Him as your Lord and King.

Jesus leads me to think of quite a number of people who have left me all those years because of misunderstanding and all kinds of reasons. There is no way to explain to them what really happen because once a relationship is broken there is no trust and they won't listen. What I can do is to pray, to fast and to wait.

That's how Jesus is doing now. He is waiting for you!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to know how much you love us so that we can fall in love with you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

DAY 635 - Come to Jesus before It Is Too Late

Today's Reading: Ecclesiastes 9-12

Please read Ecclesiastes 9-12 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below. If you would like to learn a simple and good way of Daily Devotion method please read my “Count Down 5” from my Devotion on Fire blog:

你趁著年幼、衰敗的日子尚未來到，就是你所說，我毫無喜樂的那些年日未曾臨近之先，當記念造你的主。

傳道書 12:1

Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”;

What I got today from Jesus is: Come to Jesus before it is too late

The book of Ecclesiastes is King Solomon's story of his own life. He wasted much time in those lifestyle under the sun, following human desires and falling into the traps of the Deceiver: Money, Sex and Power.

What Solomon wants his readers to know is to have the insight not under the sun but above the sun and that is to look at things in God's perspective. That requires a total change of our lives and a total new relationship with God.

Verse 1 of chapter 12 is perhaps one of my most favourite Golden verse for many years. This verse shows how much King Solomon wasted his time, money and energy to pursue those things which are going to perish sooner or later. This verse shows how much Solomon wants us to remember God each day and to be close to God each day before it is too late.

In an hour's time Michelle and I will visit Mr. Wong who we led to Jesus and being baptized by me just two weeks ago. Please click this link to know what happened: http://discipler123.blogspot.ca/2014/09/day-834-bring-more-people-to-new-eden.html

It is purely a miracle that we could enter into Mr. Wong's home, baptized him and threw all the idols away. And now he is unconscious and unable to respond waiting to go to be the Lord.

I do hope and pray that we can come close to Jesus more and more each day before it is too late. For King Solomon and many people for centuries and centuries, it is really too late!
