Recently, the high school graduating students who have applied for universities through either recommendation or application would’ve been anxious about where they will be admitted to the school they have chosen from. Universities examine each applicant’ background in great detail, including academic achievement, standardized test scores, extracurricular activities and performance in the interviews. The result, as we know, is that each student gets to a certain university based on his test scores: The higher the score, the better university he can attend
Most people seem to have this misunderstanding – the better we are, the more accepted or loved by God – about God. We assume that our ultimate value is derived from our achievements or contributions. When we perform well or contribute to a group or individual, we expect them to value or accept us. While we may gain recognition from our peers, the value is usually placed on our work rather than on our person. The Oscar Best Director was awarded to Ang Lee for what he did, not for who he was. Our value is not determined by our actions, but by Who it is that has created and desired us (Mike Bickle).
