HIS GRAND DESIGN!
Beloved congregation, as we gather under this sacred roof today, let's reflect on the purpose each of us has been divinely assigned. It is imperative for us to understand that God, in His infinite wisdom, has fashioned each soul with a purpose far greater than our most extravagant dreams.
When we were molded in our mother's womb, it wasn’t done with mediocrity in mind. No, we were lovingly and meticulously crafted, reflecting God’s image and His vision for us. Each nuance, every talent, and all our potential was embedded deep within, waiting for the right time to bloom.
Yet, life often places labels upon us. These labels, stemming from society, past failures, or even self-doubt, often read "ordinary" or "average." However, to wear these labels is to shroud the masterpiece God created. It's time to shed that cloak of mediocrity. Cast it aside and stand tall in the true reflection of what God envisioned for you.
Recognizing our own greatness isn't a sin of pride; it’s an acknowledgment of His work within us. When we undermine our worth, when we settle for less, when we accept the "average" label, we’re not only doing ourselves a disservice but also minimizing the magnitude of His divine craftsmanship.
You are more than what the world sees on the surface. Beneath lies unparalleled potential, waiting to be tapped into, waiting to align with the grand design He has mapped out for you. It's a design of success, of purpose, and of meaningful impact.
So, I urge you, dear ones, don't be confined by the perceptions of the world or by your own self-imposed limitations. Stretch beyond, reach higher, and delve deeper. For when you do, you'll find a reservoir of potential, an ocean of possibilities, and a path that leads straight to His intended destination for you.
Remember always: you are God’s masterpiece, crafted with a grand purpose. Embrace it, walk in it, and let His grand design for your life manifest in all its glory.
Amen.
