Ephesians 2:10 NKJV

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

He created us for good!! Christ created us for a purpose!! Before we were yet conceived, before we were formed in our mother’s womb, before we were given a name, God planned GREATNESS for us!! All we have to do is walk…..that’s it. Walk! Be obedient and walk.

Don’t you want to live in your greatness?!
