Prose

One of my friends asked me recently if If I'd considered writing in prose. I told him I'd write a prose post 'specially for him. Here it is!!!

I've arrived at University to read Theology. The atmosphere is really fantastic. The system of the univeristy encourages students to realise their potential in many ways. It's a gift to be placed in such an academically focussed environment where one is spurred on by those surrounding them to make the most of the opportunities presented to them and to work as hard as they can.

Whilst intensive, there also seems to be a balance in all of this. Students are not encouraged only to excel academically but also to connect with the world of debating, sport, politics and indeed religion.

As a Christian the latter of these is what I cherish most. My faith has become to me the heart of who I am. My desire to achieve in life and love my neighbour and use my talents, all stems from what God has done in me: Bringing me to a place of recognition of a need for Him in my life, followed by encouragement to pursue and seek after Him in all I do.

So to conclude, this must be my aim at University - to live for God - and to cling to His grace and forgiveness when I fail. I'll make the most of the opportunities that comes my way and use my talents for His glory not mine. Where I end up I will commit to Him
