He can’t wait to explode on the scene, impact you, and create a ripple effect that can be felt around the world. He wants the BOOM that happens in you to make waves in the lives of those around you. Can you imagine if you made an impact for God’s kingdom that created waves that rippled across the globe? You can, & He will. You can become the epicenter of that BOOM! No matter how much noise there is in the world around you, the BOOM will always stop everyone in their tracks. It trumps everything.
