leveling up

It's the graduation season...almost everyone is preparing to end a chapter in their lives and face a new set of struggles. People who stayed with the course and never gave up will receive honors and fulfillment for a job well done.

I congratulate the young people of Faith Baptist Church South Metro who has successfully finished their requirements for graduation. You have done a good job...I am extremely proud of you guys! Never forget to thank God for unselfishly flooding your lives with grace and mercy. He Who began a good work in you has proven Himself faithful in fulfilling it. All honor and praise should be given to God.

Now that you have reached this moment in life where God's grace is abundant...you have to show grace in return. To the people who have been by your side. Your parents who have been (and will continue) to support you financially, emotionally and spiritually...take time to thank them (sincerely thank them...face to face). Your siblings, extended family and friends...remember to show gratitude. Even the people who has discouraged you and never believed in you...or has been unfair to you through out your journey...show grace and impersonal unconditional love...somehow, they have pushed you to a level of maturity.

Graduating from a course of study is not the end...it's the beginning of a new journey where you can experience more of God. Leveling up in life is a result of leveling up in your spiritual life. So...prioritize your spiritual life and expect to level up anytime soon!
