Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but
with God all things are possible.” - Matthew 19:26
This morning I got a
call from a college student and I could not attend his call. I knew he was
expecting his final year engineering degree results and the results was
announced few days back. I called him this evening and he said to me that he
got passed in first class.
I could not believe
what he said. I knew him for the past 3 years. He is a village guy who studied
in a big university where so many rich people studied. He struggled a lot in
his 2nd year with arrears as he could not understand the English
language spoken by the lecturers.
Before the end of the
2nd year, he got sick and he could not continue to his studies for
few years. Already he was struggling and the sickness made him to feel so worse
about his future. He had no hope and his family also lost all the hope. But yet
he had a great faith upon Jesus Christ.
Once I told his eldest
brother to discontinue his studies and make him join in an arts college close
to his home so that he can understand and study well. But yet that guy had a
faith that God will make him finish his degree.
When he went back to
continue the course he had more than fifteen arrears. But by the amazing grace
of God he cleared all his arrears by the end of the 3rd year. That
itself seems to be a big miracle for me.
He attended placements
but yet he could not get a job. Again in the 7th semester he got two
arrears. Because of the sickness leave he availed before he has to study some
self study subjects also. He won’t understand the subject even when a expert
teaches and so I thought how he will study by himself.
He knew that he has to
clear all the papers in 8th semester with 60 percentage and then
only he can get first class. He prayed a lot and had shed tears in the presence
of God. God heard his cry and today he happily told me that he finished his
course in first class and now working in a small company.
When I finished
speaking with him and thought about the struggles he faced in the past 3 years,
only verse that came to my mind is “With God all things are possible.”
My dear young friends,
even today you might be going through a situation that seems to be so tough for
you to handle. You might have lost all hope. Some are thinking with so much frustration
that whatever happens let it happen. But today Jesus Christ says to you that He
will do great things in your life. With Him all things are possible. He will do
wonders in your life. Your life will be a witness for God’s glory.
