Are we all meant for greatness? If you think about infamous people from the Bible: Moses, Noah; they were destined to do what they did. They didn’t ask for it, but they were chosen and they said ‘yes’ to what God had for them.
I’m a big film watcher. I get a LOT out of watching what directors and actors put on the Big Screen. Much like music, I believe there is a message...whatever that message may be, good or bad.
I recently watched an AWESOME film called Amazing Grace. It is about William Wilberforce, (24 August 1759–29 July 1833) the man who ended the British Free Slave Trade. He stood by this cause for the majority of his life, through his younger years, and finally, saw it abolished after 20 years of fighting for it. He never un-wavered, never gave in, and most importantly, never gave up.
God found him, chose him, and he answered. Just like Moses and Noah, he chose to walk in the destiny that God had laid out for him.
After watching this film, it got me thinking…are we ALL destined for greatness? Perhaps it’s not on the scale of William Wilberforce, but what if it was? What if God had the same idea for each of us? I think in our culture today, it seems so unfeasible to make a difference…just ONE person? But really...why not? We all are here for SOME reason...so why not let that reason be to CHANGE the world?
