Never Doubt in Darkness!

I have asked hundreds of young people a very important question. Amazingly, everyone has given me the same answer! My question is, “Do you have a deep desire to do something great?”

Their unanimous response of “Yes!” should not be surprising, because God is a great God, and He has made us in His image. As believers, God has created each of us to accomplish specific good works. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10). As we carry out these deeds, we accomplish the purposes for which we were designed. Thus, when God sends us out among the wolves, it is part of His plan.
