What if I did get shortlisted for NPCC?
What if I did get the girl I had thought I wanted so badly in sec. sch?
What if I did find acceptance through my emulation of the behavior of my classmates in sec. sch?
What if I did ace my A maths and not end up dropping it for 'O's?
What if I did pass my NAPFA test all the way through sec. sch and poly?
What if I did get it right every time I made a decision, and no mistakes were ever made? It is precisely this which I cannot do, thus I rely on my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Looking back, I certainly did not always get my way, did not succeed in the things I desired to be good at. Looking back, if I did not fail at all, then I wouldn't have obtained the opportunity to know my Lord and Savior in this way. I would not have been able to know Him as the Victory in my life. As the saying goes, success is not final, and failure not fatal. However, I want to convey my gratitude for His divine influence in my life, leading me to victories in my life, when so many failures marked the path of my life for something much much less.
Without His divine influence, my successes would have be minimal, the failures quite fatal. Do I make Him sound like a crutch? No, that is not what He is in my life. A crutch only supports while the body heals. Christ is the fullness of life, of a kind everlasting, and this everlasting life was poured out into my poor one, and like spring come, this mortal existence sprang into its fullness. So what does Christ do with the saved? I quote Him on this, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10) Life was meant for you and me, to live to the full, and Christ came to restore what was lost. Therefore, "the life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." (Galatians 2:20)
