Humble All We Are

I am in the middle of my mid-term test right now. Though it's still indeed tiring, but I somehow still enjoy it, like there is nothing I have to stress about. Yes. The materials I have to memorize and understand are so many. But it doesn't work on making me down. It doesn't mean I am such a quick good learner that it is easy for me. But I just do my part and believe that God will do the rest. It is the reason why, the main key why.

Before, my previous semesters were actually stressful for me. I had good friends and times for having fun. But the problem was that I always expected higher for my study. I was such a person who always expected a perfect result. So when I didn't get it, I was always strangely highly disappointed. It made me losing my attention on my friends, having fun with them and finally letting myself down by putting much more effort.

I asked myself why. I had done my best but why they were ruined? Or, I tried to be best, but why I kept doing mistakes in the end? 

The answer was (always) that I too much depended on myself, on my strength.

There is a verse in the bible that says cursed are those who rely on their strengths and whose hearts turn away from God but blessed are those who rely on Him, trust Him, and keep trusting on Him. It happens on me. And surely happens on everyone including you. 

After decided to truly humble all I am, I experience "God does the rest"

Last week I got my first-ever best score.

Interestingly, I thought that I would not even get A. My prediction was at least A- or B.

Since the subject was literature, the materials were so many. I gave up on memorizing the last part. I only read it. But I prayed to God telling Him that I had done my part. I'm limited but He is not. As a result of it, I got my first-ever experience of getting what I had not expected. The first thing I thought when my lecturer told me "You are the best" was how awesome my God is. He is indeed awesome.

But does it mean by only getting the best one so it's proven God does the rest? No! But getting what you have not expected while you surrender on Him. Not expecting something good but knowing something good has given. Because God does the rest. He indeed  takes care of everything.

Some of you may experience lots of stress. You may experience what I experienced in my previous semesters. No matter whether you are students or not. All you have to do is just humble all you are.

1. Remind yourself that you are so limited but not God is. Don't force yourself. Just do your part. Let God does the rest. He is much far greater than you.
2. Don't expect for being the best. God is the best and He does the best. It's not about expecting something good but knowing that something good has given. He has provided. Don't expect too much. But trust too much on Him.
3. Being grateful! God gives for your good. He knows much more than you do.

In the end, you will know how good realizing He does the rest is. Have a blessed one, people :)
