Designed for Good Works

Why were you born now? During this time? It is easy to forget, but we were created to do good works:
“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” – Eph 2:10 (NIV)
You were designed, in advance, for good works. Not 100 years ago. Not 100 years from now. Here. Today.
Don’t forget to lead with what God gave you as you fight for your God-given cause.

This is a great Bible quote and it is timely with the holiday season now in full swing. Thanks for the reminder that my daily activities need to include good works that God has already prepared for me.
I just blogged about a couple friends of mine, Jon & Angela, who broke from their Thanksgiving tradition and invited several people (without a place to have Thanksgiving) to a meal with them. Jon & Angela are uniquely designed with compassion. Here’s their story of how that day went:
