Looking at most of my juniors' results, all the As that they have achieved in their certificate, somehow I developed mixed feelings towards it. Definitely as the older person, I feel proud that they have achieved so many distinctions which will definitely aid their portfolio in applying for universities. However, I do admit that I feel a tinge of jealousy since their results are better than mine.

The Lord at this moment reminded me to get pass the stage of placing achievements and accolades above him. As i looked back at my past, I realised that through the major milestones in my life, it was Jesus who carried me on his blood-stained body reminding me "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you." When life seems to be so meaningless, when our achievements does not match with our expectations, we tend to blame God for failing to bless us or give us directions in life. We live in such a deplorable world, only learning how to take and never learning how to give in life. When was the last time, we cried a prayer of desperation, telling God that all we need is him. That even if God doesn't bless us, we are contented just to be in His presence.

God is Jehovah Jireh, which means "God is a provider". Even as we face crossroads of decisions, bad mistakes or downslopes in life, when God promises to take us to our destination, He will surprise us in many ways that we cannot think of. Who says that all roads does not lead to Rome. With God, as long as we have faith and we believe, no matter how badly situated we are, there is always a way.
