Exams with and for God

From the writing of a friend’s wife in 2007.

During this period of exams, revision and stress, I thought I would quickly take the time to share a few thoughts about our lives, and our futures.

We don’t know what the future holds for us, but God does; and if we put our trust in Him, then we will be assured of a place in Heaven with Him, where we will be like Him, and will be free from all sorrow and pain. If we truly have this hope and trust, then how much more worthwhile our lives here on earth will be! Even when times are hard, like during exams, we can have the knowledge that the future holds something far greater than anything on this world. And to know and understand that exam results are not the most important things in our life, nor will they determine our future, is a wonderful truth! It means that we do not need to worry about succeeding, or getting a first, because whatever grades we get, we will be going to Heaven to spend eternity there!!

With prayers that we might all come to a full realisation and heart-felt knowledge of God’s promise.
