My son is 12 this year and he is in Grade 5. In the past, regardless of whether on holiday or at the two-day weekend, both the specific time when he did his homework and the amount of his homework each time were organized by me. He was very obedient and every time he could finish on time as planned. So, over time, I thought my plans were quite reasonable and that only by listening to me could he finish his homework on time.
“It’s all your fault! You washed too many clothes at once, and it broke the washing machine. And the power strip for the TV, did you break that too? I’ve been using it for more than a decade and it never broke. Everything is breaking since you’ve come …”
Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.
– Matthew 7:21
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
To enter the kingdom of heaven is every Christian’s wish, but what conditions must be fulfilled in order to enter the kingdom of heaven? Many people think that as long as they hold on to the name of the Lord, labor and sacrifice for the Lord, they can be brought into the kingdom of heaven. I thought so, but later I read a passage online: “Many believers in the Lord believe the same thing that you do: ‘As long as I work hard and bear the cross for the Lord, exhibit some good behaviors and bear witness well, I will be qualified to wait for the Lord’s return and be raptured into the kingdom of heaven.’

Christian Song | The Second Coming of Lord | "God Is Seeking Those Who Thirst for His Appearance"
I
God seeks those who long for Him, who long for Him to appear. God seeks those who don't resist, obedient as babies before Him. God seeks those who are able, able to hear His words, accept what He's entrusted and offer heart and body to Him. If nothing can shake, nothing can shake your devotion to God, He'll look down upon you, look down upon you with favor, oh … God will bestow His blessings upon you, upon you, oh … God will bestow His blessings upon you!
II
If you are one who though noble, reputed and knowledgeable, still accept, accept His calling and commission. If you are one who though wealthy, who though supported by all, still accept, accept His calling and commission, yeah. If nothing can shake, nothing can shake your devotion to God, all that you do will be significant and righteous, oh … God will bestow His blessings upon you, upon you, oh … God will bestow His blessings upon you! Oh … oh … oh … oh …
III
However, reject the call of God for your status (for your status) and for your own goals, all you do (all you do) will be cursed by God, (oh …) yeah, all you do (all you do) will be despised by God. If nothing can shake, nothing can shake your devotion to God, all that you do will be significant and righteous, oh … God will bestow His blessings upon you, upon you, oh … God will bestow His blessings upon you, His blessings upon you! Yeah … oh … oh … oh …

Eastern Lightning, The Church of Almighty God was created because of the appearance and work of Almighty God, the second coming of the Lord Jesus, Christ of the last days. It is made up of all those who accept Almighty God's work in the last days and are conquered and saved by His words. It was entirely founded by Almighty God personally and is led by Him as the Shepherd. It was definitely not created by a person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. God's sheep hear God's voice. As long as you read the words of Almighty God, you will see God has appeared.
Liu Zhen, 78 years old, is a typical rural housewife. After believing in God, she felt unparalleled joy from reading His words and singing songs of praise to Him every day, and frequently gathering with her brothers and sisters to fellowship on the truth. … However, good things never last.

Zheng Yi is a Christian.

Wenya's parents separated when she was two, and after that she lived with her father and stepmother. Her stepmother couldn't stand her and was always arguing with her father. He had little choice—he had to send Wenya to her mother's house, but her mother was fully focused on running her business and didn't have any time to take care of Wenya, so she was often shuttled off to her relatives' and friends' homes to be fostered.
