It’s a new year and for many students at the University it represents a new start. January is particularly significant to students because it signals another milestone on their journey to academic success. Some scholars may find themselves gaining momentum while others may have to redesign their strategy to ensure a more successful semester. But success does not happen by chance, it must be planned. The Hiram S. Walters Resource Centre (HSWRC) at the institution’s main campus in Mandeville is sharing the blueprints to success through another academic display - Success Tips for 2012.

Portraits of God's Love
Perhaps the most well known and used text in the Bible is John 3:16; this portion of scripture emphasises the reason Christ laid down His life on Calvary for the salvation of the human family. John says that reason is love. “For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” It is this same John who helps us to understand why God can only act out of love in 1 John 4: 8 where he points out that God is Love. However, we cannot see God directly so He has painted several portraits of Himself: we see that portrait in the life of His son Christ Jesus, and that is why Christ said, when you see me, you see the Father; we see Him in his creation, that is why the Psalmist David says in Psalm 19 that “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth his handywork;” indeed, human beings have also been tasked with that responsibility – to show forth God’s love. This photographic review gives us a glimpse, a portrait of God’s love.
