Graduation Day

December 23, 2017

Hi I’m Alex. Today I will share my first school experience. It started in the morning. Nobody knew if we were going to go to graduation. We were all in doubt whether we were going to or not. So, we waited for them to tell us… then, all of us who were going to graduate started looking for and dressing in our best clothes. Then, when we arrived, we put on our cap and gown. All at once, I felt overwhelmed and proud because I had never dressed like that.

Once the event began, they passed the diplomas to the front and they gave out the diplomas one by one to each of us for the different courses we had passed. When they came to me and gave me my diploma, I felt so satisfied, happy and proud of myself. I have never felt this way!

Now, I understand that when God wants to do His work, He does, no matter what the circumstances and timing is. God looks at our effort and sacrifice. And, we should know that all things we do is for Him, and that is why He gives us merits. We have to learn that everything good costs. Its a lot of hard work but in the end, we can appreciate it even more. So let us take that into account when we have a good experience for the first time, it is because our father God wants to see us happy and loved for what we adore.

Servants, do what you’re told by your earthly masters. And don’t just do the minimum that will get you by. Do your best. Work from the heart for your real Master, for God, confident that you’ll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance. Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you’re serving is Christ.
— Colossians 3:23-24
