About This Quote
The Bible tells us that we were created in the image of God. That means we were created with a purpose and potential for greatness on a level of universal significance. But like any other human, we can get distracted from our true purpose and potential. We can grow disinterested in the world around us and lose sight of the fact that we are special.
The truth is, there is no such thing as a person who woke up one morning and had this greatness inside of them. Every person was created with the potential to be great, but we often fail to recognize it or keep it alive. When we do, we open ourselves to the real joy that lies in life: the joy of being all that we can be.
