Letter of Commendation - High School Graduate

Dear Shawn,

I'm writing to congratulate you and pray God's continuous blessings in your life. It seems like yesterday when you were in pampers; now you're graduating from high school with honors!

Praise God, you've made the first step. Now I'm anticipating your climb to the top. Guess what? You can do it! (You can do all things through Christ that strengthens you,” Philippians 4:13). God has a plan for your life and He delights in leading to the top. So make sure each step is ordered by Him. Your parents are very proud of you. They have anticipated this occasion for quite a while.

You stood the test of peer pressure and overcame successfully. I'm confident in the faithfulness of God that you will stand any other pressure that you might encounter. Your life is just beginning and you have the potential to succeed in any area you choose. Your parents have provided the spiritual guidance to prepare you for your own personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Remember knowledge is power but having wisdom is the guarantee for success. It is a precious gift from God—yours just by asking.

Therefore, in all you're getting, get understanding. Proverbs 3:5,6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."

Again, congratulations! I commend you for your achievement.  

With deepest joy,

From my heart

 

Sample Letter of Commendation: Grad School

Dear Heart ,

Congratulations and best wishes! Praise God for your successful completion of graduate school. I'm very proud of you! Your persistence, determination and discipline have made the difference.

I pray you realize how blessed you are. Remember James 1: 17, "Every good gift and, every perfect gift are from above, and comes down from the Father of lights..."

Therefore, the gift should be used to bring glory to God and dispel darkness.  Although you are a very young woman and I'm considerably older, you’ve inspired me to pursue my dreams in higher education. I'm glad to be a part of your life. So often I reflect on the night when you were hurting and I was there to comfort you by allowing you to lay your head on my shoulder and sob. From that time you've had a special place in my heart. You might call it a bonding experience.

I encourage you to continue to live your dream. Remember to God be the glory for your accomplishment in academic excellence.  You are indeed blessed to have reached this goal. I admire you as a young woman for choosing to set high standards for yourself.  I commend you for reaching your goal.

Congratulations!

From my heart,
