Upper 2nd Class Honours

Got the official letter that shows my class of honours. Got Upper 2nd Class Honours. Really thank God for this. With the results I had and the last minute attempt of my project, it is really God's hands at work to get this class. As much as I have this 'silverware', it is a good platform for me to move on. However, like what Paul said in Philippians 3

7But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.

Not that I despise or not value what I have gotten but rather what I have is by God's providence and that the only thing I can boast about is that it is God's providence. And in comparison, this gift never outstand the gift of knowing Christ. Even though the gift of that piece of paper may lead me to good 'life' but my life is no longer for myself as I know I have received the best gift who has the best life plan for me.

May I not lose sight of the one and best gift and forsake it for many other 2nd best rewards.
