“Nothing But A Dreamer?”
Let me ask you a few questions, “Are you living your Dream, or just living your life? Do you believe every person on earth was born with a dream for his or her life?
I believe that everyone has a dream, you too. You may not be able to describe it. You may have forgotten it. You may even no longer believe in it. But it’s there.
You are a dreamer! Yet as every dreamer soon learns, the path to the future you really want is clogged with dream-threatening obstacles. That’s why so many turn back or don’t even start the journey. However what many don’t realize—and what I missed for years—is that each obstacle is also an important opportunity. The obstacles come in a predictable sequence, and each for a very promising reason.
The better you understand the journey to your dream and what God is doing in your life to make it possible, the less likely you are to abandon your dream. So let me ask you: Did you have a dream as a child that you lost along the way? Do you have a dream right now that seems impossible to pursue? Do you feel like God forgot to even give you a Big Dream? Or are you pursuing your dream, but experiencing setback after setback?
Don’t give up, but may I suggest that something is missing within your striving? God. Keep relentlessly pursuing your dream, but allow God to control your heart and mind. Let that be your prayer.
Life isn’t meant to be impossible to understand. We should be able to recognize God’s fingerprints in our lives. It is then up to us to decide whether we will cooperate with what He is doing, both in our hearts and in our world. God has a dream for you and for your life. I can’t tell you what that dream is, that’s up to God. However, I pray that you will devote yourself to the journey of discovering God’s dream for you. In the end, may heaven describe you as one of those rare people who lived to achieve Great Things for the glory of God.
“Let the prophet who has a dream tell his dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully.” – Jeremiah 23:28a
Dare to Dream a God size Dream!
