Under Watchful Eyes

Last year I was trying to pursue my postgraduate degree in social work. After failing twice to qualify for our country’s best social-work college, I applied to another well-known college. I easily cleared the first-round written test and group discussion. The second-round interview was crucial for admission, and I thought I performed reasonably well. However, when the results were posted, I found my name on the waiting list and not among the list of qualifiers.

My chances for admission were very slim. But having great trust and confidence in God, I was waiting for a miracle. It did not happen and I returned home feeling dejected and heartbroken.

A few days later I got a phone call from the same institution, informing me that a place had been vacated and I would be admitted to the college. I could not believe what was happening. 

Today I am in my third term. This experience taught me that we are always under God’s loving and watchful eyes. I’ve learned on a personal level to trust God, have patience and remember that he is working for our good.
