God's plans for you are good, and He has placed every gift, talent, and power within you to fulfill your purpose. Recognize that you are not called to be ordinary but to be extraordinary, set apart by God with specific assignments.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, was chosen by God despite appearing ordinary externally. Her heart and willingness to accept God's plan led to her extraordinary assignment of giving birth to Jesus.

Embracing peace and joy allows you to live a life of blessing and abundance.
