Accomplishment

 

Your not being arrogant if what you say is true
If you worked hard to earn it; then it belongs to you
Don't let people lie and say your ego is on shine
It's all a trick of the enemy, as he plays with your mind
You are a child of God and your light must always shine
So speak on what you earned; its not ego but God's Design

 

Don't cower in obscurity after earning your degree
Some have had 20 years of school; Man let everyone see!

 

Don't hide your new possessions, or pretend that you're dumb
All you are really hiding is how far in God you've come

 

Don't hide all the gifts that God helped you to refine
Release Them!
Use Them!
You Earned Them!
Today is your time to shine!

 

Man is not your king, for the kingdom is of God
It is he that grants all our requests
Your health, finance, and jobs

 

He endows every blessing, nixes every wrong we face
and when you hide your accomplishments you also hide his grace.

 

Obscurity has millions in darkness, looking for the light
Proclaiming all his blessings, will shine brightly through this night.

 

So be proud in your accomplishments
It's not the sinful pride
It's just you saying to the world
I did it with God by my side!

This is PERFECT! So many have been taught that pride is a sin, but they should be taught that false pride is the sin and Pride in your accomplishments is a good thing to show.

We are all capable, if you expect a horse to drive a car he will believe that he has failed.

I can really relate to this because I just recently earned my college degree! It's nice to really recognize God's blessings to other people in a humble way! A great peace of work!
