That is all very encouraging. The gift of encouragement is a very nice gift to have. I do not think he will actually fail the class. He is just worried that he will not get a B. For a lot of people in that class they are going to be very happy if they get a C. He needs a 3.5 grade point average to maintain some of his scholarships. I did not realize that the difference between a B & C requires having to work that much harder.
work hard and reap the benefits. We reap what we sow is a universal law with everything and I wish the very best for your son. Whilst I encourage anybody to try their best, I also let them know that there are limitations to each and everyone of us and that it’s ok to find your limits and that there are others better off than us and we are better off than others.
The world creates a grading system because it needs to in order to have the best man for the job so to speak. Unfortunately it has turned mankind into competition with each other.
I’m better than you
I have more than you
I have nicer things than you
I’m richer than you
I have a better job than you
I have a nicer house than you
And the list goes on. My point is that it has turned I against you and that was never Gods plan for us. Yes, God has blessed people with leadership and others that are poor. It is how we serve others with what we are given is what matters. For If much is given, more is expected of us.
I have a great example of how the world can mound you regarding being an educated man.
A family of Christians I know who are dedicated to the Lord are very loving people. All but one are walking in faith to God. Their son who was excellent scholar who went on to become a master degree in pharmaceutical.
The guy made huge deals with foreign companies is a multi millionaire. He don’t believe in God because his life is very successful. Million pound house in Ireland, another in America, beautiful wife, 3 healthy kids and a wealthy bank account. His attitude is that he worked for everything he has, not God
He cannot see why He needs God because he has everything. It would be better if he never excelled in school rather than denying God
Not condoning an intelligent mind or anybody that’s wealthy, but what I am saying is that no matter what your son achieves or anybody’s child for that matter, it’s good practice to show them that whilst they aim to achieve in life, never forget to give God the glory.
Giving thanks to God has showed me that I am not worse off than anybody and that I’m not better than anybody. The worlds system is there to shape you and give us pride. Just look at it, we no longer care for others rather what I can get
