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. ... more texts
