If the God we serve is an excellent God why are we not being excellent? We should make it a habit to constantly ask God the why, when and how of our being great. Understand why you have been born at this time, why you have been given the talents and gifts you were born with. Seek to understand when you are meant to do the things you need to achieve your purpose.

Greatness is a gift but we must still earn it, you are not going to be great just because God said so and then think you are not meant to take any action. There are certain things you are required to do for your greatness to manifest into reality.
