A high school professor of Psychology came to class to conduct a test
for his students. Before distributing the question papers, he announced. “Guys,
I am so proud of you all and I promise you that nobody will fail this subject
and that is why I am here to make you an offer. If you want an automatic C, all
you have to do is raise up your hand and I will give you a C.”
Slowly, one hand got up, and then another and another until about half
or more of the class population were having their hands raised up. He asked
them to put down their names and they left the class happy they at least got a
C.
The professor distributed the question papers face down on the
student’s desk and instructed them not to turn it over until they were told to
do so. He then told them how they should always strive for the best in life
after which he asked them to turn the papers open. On opening the papers, there
were just two sentences in there; “Congratulations, you just made an A.”
Many times in life we accept a C not realizing that God has got an A
for us. Many times we refuse to receive God’s best because we settle for less.
The truth is all things are possible to him that believes. Settling for less is
accepting what life offers. Friends, refuse life’s offers and accept God’s
offers. Jer 29:11 says for I know the
thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of
evil, to give you an expected end.
Many times for the fear of been disappointed, we just play it cool. We
lower the bar of expectations to avoid disappointment. That’s not the plan of
God for us. Aim high. The best sales
should be yours. You should marry the best in the land. You should be the best
in your school. You have an infinite capacity inside of you to do and to be all
you have always wanted, for the seed of greatness is inside of you. You are
God’s best and God’s bests don’t settle for less than God’s best!
You shall excel in Jesus Name. Amen!
