Jesus lived in greatness, and said, “If you believe in me, you will also do great things- even greater things.” (John 14:12) And here we were, a community of young people, in a warm church on a Friday night in a highly secular area, praising our Lord with all that we had. Greater things indeed.

This greatness is not a worldly one. It’s not a greatness promising good looks, popularity, safety, money, and power. This greatness is far better. It’s a greatness promising a relationship with Love himself, achieved in making ourselves small, humble, and eager to do the will of God.

This greatness casts out mediocrity. God desires us to co-labor with him, not to waste our lives and our experiences to mediocrity. We were handcrafted for greatness. I pray we allow God to use that.
