======Vision for Education 3 - Value beyond failures!...======
Saturday, Mar 13, 2010. God's education is different from
what we learn in our schools and universities. In schools
we learn many things - we should appreciate this education
we can get today. We learn language and arts, science and
crafts. But in God's education we learn grace and love,
justice and honesty, trustworthiness and solidarity.

**A value which is beyond things we could earn**
God's education is different, it is deeper and wider than
the education we get in our schools. In God's education we
learn that we are valued with all we are and have. We cannot
earn this value, it is given to us. How ever hard we work,
we will not be more valuable to God. However lazy we are,
we will not loose the value he has given to us.
In God's school we learn to see and to live the value he
has put into us at the beginning of creation. We also get
to know the value which he has attributed to us in Jesus,
when he died at the cross of Calvary. The only son of
God, Jesus, died for mankind. This universial sacrifice
reflects the value we have for God. He give the best he
has, to save us.

**Learn to admit your failures**
There is another key thing we learn from God. We learn to
admit our failures. We learn to be honest before him. When we
get to know God, we realize his purity. His motives are
completely pure. His love is without any shadow. Even if we
treat him badly, he still loves us in with a purity and
intensity we cannot imagine.
In the light of God's purity, we learn to see our own
character and failures. In his love we find the strength
to admit where we are on the wrong track. Someone who is
educated by the Lord will be able to criticize himself.
He will not try to maintain some bright front, where
everything inside is dark. He will open the doors and
windows of his soul, let the darkness out and show his
weekness and failures to other people.
If you cannot say to others "I am wrong, I am sorry, forgive
me", this shows that you did not meet the Lord yet. In him
there is mercy and forgiveness. Who ever meets him, will
start to change and will be transformed into someone who
lives and practices forgiveness as well.
