As my High School years are coming to an abrupt end, I had the chance to reflect on what I achieved and the memories I made with my friends and teachers. It has been a roller coaster four years, from complete misery and absolute glee, one thing never changed. And that was God’s faithfulness throughout the time. It took a lot of courage for me to finally accept the God as my Lord and Savior, but from then on I knew that I’d made the best decision of my life. Of course, I am not perfect and I do make mistakes all the time, but that’s not going to deter me from pursuing the Lord with every single fiber of my being. God has been a shield for me for all my life and looking back, I now know that he is the reason why I am alive without any damage. It amazes me at times that the Lord has been faithful to me even at the times my sins were beyond forgivable. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 – “The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.” At the time of complete hopelessness and during the time where I questioned God’s existence, He consistently showed me that he is faithful, loving, and always there in the time of need. There is nothing on this earth more certain than hope in God. He will never leave us nor will He ever forsake us. He is our anchor in the present and for the future. And the same hope is the reason why I am devoting my life to his service.
