So we all know what I'm talking about when I mention dreams. The fact is that all of us have had dreams and most of us have visions of where we would like to be in the future.
We can have many different types of dreams, sometimes we dream outrageous dreams...our perfect reality and imagine what it would be like for it to come true. Sometimes we dream of the worst happening and dread the possibility, no matter how small, of it happening. I think worst of all is when we take our outrageous dreams and make them more realistic to suit what we think is possible.
This world has many people who have never achieved what they hoped and try to bring down others dreams as a response. Or maybe things have just never worked out for you. Don't ever give up, this could just be the tough trail to happier times. The trees look so beautiful when it is sunny because of all the rain they endured beforehand.
This is what Jesus said:-
Mark 9:23
23 'If you can'? said Jesus. Everything is possible for him who believes.
God made you, He formed you in the womb (Psalm 139:13-14), He has great plans for you (Jer 29:11) and He LOVES you (John 3:16). Jesus, who is God, said we can do ANYTHING if we just trust in Him.
And there is the sticking point for many, trusting in Him.
I know I find it hard, last week I was praying and I felt God telling to stop trying to do things on my own but to be weak and let Him be strong.
We cannot make our wildest dreams happen by our own doing, we need to give them to God and let Him make them happen. Trusting Him.
Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
I saw this quote today and really loved it and it fits it nicely with this blog post:-
Steven Furtick: "If the size of your vision isn't intimidating to you, it's probably insulting to God"
So whether your dream is revival, world peace, world justice, a new job, reconciliation or even just
peace...don't give it up...give it to God! He is faithful and will never let you down :)

Lots of social problems that people think these days can be solved with money actually can only be resolved with dreams... or to put it another way; ambition... but in Christ.
ReplyDeleteI think it is only when people realise the fact God has a purpose for them they can be happy. Because life is pretty hopeless without it. But completely fulfilling with it.
