Just checked for the results of one of my modules on thursday. To my horror I got a C+. Thats the worst grade I ever had so far in my smu life. Upon realisation, I was of course sad and feeling lost. How could I get C+, I asked myself.
Why God did not help me. I asked. Then I was reminded of the story of Daniel in the bible. When he was thrown into the lion's den because of his test of faith, he entered in with total conviction that he was doing the right thing. He was even ready to enter into it even if God does not deliver him from the lions. Hence, he was even willing to die for his own faith. Then I told God, God I'm with you. I will continue to trust you and continue to serve you while in school even though I may not get good results but then, you know that I'm willing to do that right. So please do not test me in this area. Then I was reminded of one of the things that was said to me during this semester. Yihan said that even though your GPA is bad and life might seem gloomy to you, BUT God has said to you that he has a GREAT FUTURE for you. That alone is enough for you to be confident in your future. Cos no matter what happens, no matter how bad life is turning out to be right now, I can be assured of a good future if I trust in God.
Why everyone has a great future? I was asked by someone during bible study. I told him God created everyone differently for different purpose. Everyone's purpose though may be different but all of us are meant to do good works. (Ephesians 2:10) So if everyone's purpose is to do good works, then God's purpose for everyone must be good in the first place.
Bottomline: Though my GPA might suck, I still have faith that God will make a way for me to have a great future.
Doesn't mean I can slack and allow God to bring me to my future but let every step I walk be guided by God and give my all in everything I do.
