Keep Your Dream Alive

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.
Ephesians 3:20


When God gives you a dream, He places within you - or within reach - all the resources needed to fulfil it.
Do you have an unthinkable, scary, absolutely wild idea that won't let you sleep?
That's the way it is with dreams, especially when God's in them. They appear crazy (humanly speaking, they are crazy!). Placed alongside the triangle of logic, cost and timing, such dreams usually seem beyond our reach. They won't fly when you test them against the gravity of reality. And the strangest part is the more they are told "can't" the more they pulsate "can" and "will" and "must".
What's behind great accomplishments?
Inevitably, great people. But what is in those great people that makes them different?
It's certainly not their age or gender or heritage or talent or environment.
It's faith!
They are people who think and believe differently.
Are you dreaming about writing a book?
Don't wait for a publisher, start writing!
Are you wondering if all that work with the children is worth it? It is!
Want to go back to school and finish your degree? Do it.
Pay the price, even if it takes years!
Trying to master a skill that takes time, patience and energy (not to mention money)? Press on! Thinking about going into business? Why not? It's hard to find satisfaction halfway up someone else's corporate ladder.
Without a dream and the determination to fulfil it, life is reduced to bleak black and wimpy white - a diet too bland to get anybody out of bed in the morning. So go after the quest that fuels your fire. Keep your dream alive!
