Before you were born, the Most High God not only knew you but He chose you. He handpicked you and put a calling on your life. He's already equipped you and empowered you to accomplish your purpose. He stamped His approval on you and destined you to leave your mark. He says you are His most prized possession.

Don't let fear, insecurity, guilt, or regrets keep you from your greatness. Right now, God's face is shining on you. There is a distinction of favor on your life that causes you to stand out, that gives you an advantage, that opens doors of opportunity and causes you to prosper even in a downtime.

What God has in your future is greater than you've ever dreamed.
