Loving even in times of struggle
Some of you might not have seen me in almost a month now. Frankly, I backslided but thank God that I returned.
There were many reasons for me backsliding but i'll just concentrate on the main one.
I recieved my GCE O Levels results on Friday 9/2/2007. I wasn't happy with my grades and still, i'm not. But I learn to accept things as they are and just try to move on.
These are my grades,
English Language : B4
Combined Humanities : C5
Mathematics : B3
Sciences (Physics/Chemistry) : A2
Art and Design : B3
Chinese :D7
So these are the things I did in order to help myself feel better.
- Ask around, I felt even worse as most of the people I asked did so much better than I did.
- Thought about why God gave me these grades
- Pondered and wondered about what went wrong (Nothing came up, I really did my best)
So why did I still feel so horrible?
- I knew I did my best but is my best this?
- God's Love only limited me to these grades?
- The more I thought, the worse I felt. Even when the adults asked I told them my grades, they tried their best to help my overcome these burdens but I rejected everything I even rejected God
- The other people who took the same exam with me were boasting and I had no pride in whatever I did.
- I hated God for giving me these grades after all that i've done and all the faith i've had in him.
You guys realise something? I was lementing so much that I was consumed by the downfall. I didn't even open my eyes to see the wonderful things that God has blessed me with.
- I did not fail
- I still had a place to go in Poly
- My grades were decent
- Nobody condemmed me
- I improved much comparing from my prelims
- I now know that even with such grades, God can still work in me (Example: Moses, he wasn't the smartest person on earth yet God worked in him so powerfully!)
- These results do not mean anything to the person in which I become
So guys's I'd just like to bless you with this sharing that even though I did not do well, I can still testify about my results and how God has led me here. God has mighty plans and these plans often make us fall and stumble break us even, but these plans also include building and remoulding, and these remoulding and building works don't usually build or renew you to become a worse person. But much more powerful and faithful. Remember, God is a God of our circumstances too.
BLESSED AT,
