Against all hope
Want to hear a secret? I'll tell it to you. Jesus loves you!
Its sad that so many people don't fully understand this life-changing, awesome truth. Lets pray that Daddy God uses us to spread His message yeah?
My results came back. Remember when I said that God's grace is enough to see us through? Lately I have been recalling all those nights I wasted away on the computer, not studying. All those hours of dozing off in class. And I wonder: can I even get promoted? I worried especially for Geography and Economics as I especially wasn't ready for them.
I knew that I was worrying too much, far too much. So the recess before I was to collect my first paper, I had a talk with God in a quiet place. I gave Him all of my cares, my worries and was honest with Him about what I was feeling. Then I went to collect my Literature paper.
Lit comes in four parts, all carry a maximum of 50 marks. I was shocked when I saw my marks.
28/50. 34/50. 30/50. 34/50.
Whoa! My best results ever! God is so faithful! Guess what? I actually got NO U GRADES, NO S GRADES and NOT EVEN AN E GRADE! My lowest core subject got 50%, Geography.
I'm speechless. I think about how unprepared I was and look at these marks. Its not me, honest. All the glory goes to God.
I have some classmates who fear for their future due to not-so-ideal marks. I'll be keeping them in my prayers. Despite my joy, I feel sad with them. God, take care of them.
My CG mates did well in their exams too! And as the perfect "dessert" to a wonderful day, I received the news that a friend going through a personal crisis has gotten over it. Thank you, Lord, for all You've done. Make me bolder next time so I can share with my classmates about the grace that You've shown me. Friends, stay blessed! For because of Jesus, we can hope against all hope, even if natural circumstances seem against us. God's grace supercedes the laws of nature.Love, Judah
Abba, You love me.
