I’m doing my Final
year engineering (B.Tech-ECE) at a Christian engineering university. I thank God for given this
opportunity to share how great His grace, an unmerited favour of God which have
totally transformed my life from the state of failure to a success.
By the grace of God I was doing
quite well in my studies till 9th grade. Suddenly there happened a great
tragedy in my life that we as family met with a horrible accident. In front of
my eyes I saw my beloved dad, whom I loved the most, dying. (I lost my beloved
dad in front of my eyes). I also seen my mother fighting for her life at CCU
but graciously God has given back her life. At this stage, many people of God
fervently prayed for my mom’s recovery and miraculously God healed her
completely from her terrible injuries and now she is perfectly alright.
Since my dad was the one who loves
me lot more than anyone else and all the time I was so pampered by him.
Imagining life without him developed hatred and void in my heart as a result I
gradually lost interest in my studies scoring just pass marks in my subjects.
Since my dad was the only bread winner in our family (and my mother was a
housewife and my elder sister was in 1st year of her UG) my
relatives all told me to quit matriculation school and join a government school.
However, Jesus Christ, my heavenly father took care of it by providing his unmerited favour to
receive 75% fee concession and helped me to complete my schooling successfully
in the same matriculation school and astonishingly God made me to join a
Engineering University.
I can still remember the day of
enrolment. At the time of enrolment process, looking at my +2 maths mark
everyone criticized me saying, “mathematics is base for all engineering subjects
by having such a low mark you can never able to cope up with your studies and
they added if u keep arrear it is very difficult to pass. But by abundant grace
of God, He helped me to score ‘S’ grade (85%-95%) in most of the maths paper. He
also blessed me with 8+ CGPA with no history of arrear till the end.
At the beginning of 3rd year, great fear
gripped my heart regarding my future but God clearly spoke to me saying “Fear
not, I have bright future plans for you”. By hearing God’s word I thought I
will get placement in the first company itself but to my surprise I didn’t even
clear first round of 1st company after that I thought in second
company I will be placed but I’m not even eligible for that company then again I
was awfully scared about my future even though God has promised me.
I couldn’t wait for His timing, I
started to weep at prayer cell throughout day in day out by questioning myself,
how I will survive after completing my B.Tech, what will I do; where will I be;
I couldn’t even clear the aptitude itself; What I’m going to do? But in God’s
time he made me to get through the 1st round of 7th
company and He filled me with spirit of wisdom and made me to complete
technical and HR round successfully and placed me at cognizant technology.
Through this God taught me that he
will make everything beautiful in His time by bring us to a right place at
right time to enjoy His ordained blessings in our life. Just we need to wait;
things will happen just like that at His time. It’s too hard for my family
circumstance to pay my semester fees but according to Philippians 4:19 My God
has met all my need according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus so I was
never been in out of roll for 8 semesters and every fees were paid ahead of due
time. As Psalmist says in 34:10 “The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those
who seek the LORD lack no good thing” it is very true in my life.
After experiencing such an unconditional,
unfailing, everlasting love of God in my life. My heart was healed from all
pains and hurting and now my heart was filled his joy and peace.
You may also have been despised by everyone,
either people around you may tell that you are fit for anything or you may feel
your good for nothing but God looks at you and says “My Grace is sufficient for
you and my strength will make perfect in your weakness”. The grace which makes nobody
like me to get placed, the grace which makes a failure to score 8+ CGPA, The
grace which provided everything that I need to live happily that amazing grace
is sufficient for you too to be blessed by Him. God never sees how talented you
are, how good at your studies. But He
loves you just as you are because He is your ’CREATOR’ just surrender your life
in His hand and trust in Him alone and He will make you to be more than what
you could be.
