You aren’t an accident. God’s been planning your incredible life for years, and it’s time to experience it.

Key Points:

  • God’s been planning your story for a long time. (Genesis 12:1.)
  • God invites us to take big risks. (Genesis 12:4.)
  • God blesses us to bless others. (Genesis 12:2-3.)

Quote This:

Genesis 12:2-3 I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.
