Results?

Checked my results

They were better than expected

Glad I could maintain my CGPA

To God be the glory

For I do it all for His name

But so what if I did well?

Would I not praise Him if I did less than average?

Does my results really define the person I am?

Or is it just a stat that will be forgone the next sem?

We all say that its ok

Just do your best

And leave the rest

But I do believe that our marks and results

Do define or maybe show and reveal a part of us

Some way or some how of some sort

Like obesity.

It is the result of gluttony and over-eating.

Big Mansions.

The result of hard earned cash whether dirty or not.

Our Spirituality.

The result of time carved out to spend time with God.

So results do show a little of who we are

Whether we have put in enough hours into our studies

Whether we paid attention in lectures

Whether we took down enough notes

Or do tutorials to say the least

But there would never be a definite answer

For some students spend hours studying

But not getting the results they want or even passing

While others party away and do last minute reading

Yet they score really well or way above average

So does an A1 = A Genius?

A 100% = Someone Perfect?

Or a C- = A Retard?

And a 0% = Someone Stupid?

NOT AT ALL!

People cant be judged based on numbers or alphabets

They have to be known

To be heard

To be seen through the eyes of God

So don't tell me you're stupid just because you didn't too well in your exams

Or that I'm smart cos I did ok

We're all the same one way or another

And God didn't make mistakes when He created us

I bet you are better in stuff that others are not

So just leave it to God and live your life to the fullest

Besides we have more important things to do

Than cry and get depressed over poor results

Lives are at stakes

There are fishes everywhere

And we are called to be fishermen

I'd rather concentrate on the result of my faith

True outward righteous living

From the inside of a vulnerable heart

Where studies are focused on the Word

And listening to the greatest Teacher of all

In the form of seeing miracles

And just living in the centre of His will, grace and mercy

Results of tests and exams

Are only earthly standards

But I want to live up to my Father's standards

And that to me is the result that truly matters...
