Dear Graduate,

We have watched you grow up with great pride.  You have become a great generation.  You have seen the frailties of our culture, yet you remain strong in your resolve.  You have been bombarded by visual ugliness in all kinds of media, but you still stand up for the good.  We salute you!

We have great hopes for you.  You are our tomorrows and we are confident of your ability.  We have seen the depths of your integrity and your dreams for a better world.

            Your strength of character prevails and the voice of freedom is your battle cry.  Our future is in your hands, and they are good hands!

            You have an inner strength with the knowledge of the “Greater One” who lives in you. “…if your faith is as big as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. All things will be possible for you”  (Matthew 17:20 NCV).

            We now pass the baton to your hands.  We do it with assurance.  You are world changers.  Your unselfishness, enthusiasm for life, and faith in God, will guide your way to success.

            You are the research scientists who discover a cure for cancer.  You are the doctors, nurses, teachers and all the other individuals that make this a nation of freedom.

            You are the ones who lead this country for a better tomorrow.  You are the stability of society, standing all the while for righteousness and truth.  You are the ones who bring light to a dark world.  Your optimistic outlook, despite the problems, will bring encouragement to troubled souls. You will demonstrate love where there is hate.  You are a child of the King child and you will reign!  You will press on to make a better world.

            You will learn that trials are simply tests of faith that leads to higher accomplishments.  You are builders, overcomers and conquerors.  We are on your side.  How exciting is your future.

Go dear graduate.  May blessings pursue and overtake you as you pursue God’s plan for your life.

“Run with patience the race that is set before you” ( Hebrews 12:1) and rejoice in the shadow of your Savior’s wings.

Take flight dear graduate.  Soar to the heights God has intended for you. Keep that childlike faith. With God, you cannot fail.

You are valuable to God and to us.  You will never be out of our love or prayers. The world is waiting for you!

            “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26 NIV).
