Don't Be Afraid To Dream

Did you know that it doesn't cost anything to dream? Yet we don't find the time to do it. If you think back over your life, most of the special moments we have experienced started by just daring to dream. What is remakable to me is that most of the big moments went beyond my intitial dreaming. Tina Turner said," You don't always reach a dream in the way you first see it. When you get there, it's a different dream, but it's still a dream."

Our Heavenly Father has created us with unique gifts and talents. As we discover them, we begin to get more comfortable with them and we begin to dream. Granted, if you are going to dream you must prepare yourself for disappointments and setbacks. But the key is don't give up.Trust that God is preparing you. There is a story told in the Book of Genesis in the Bible about a man named Joseph. You can read his story in Genesis 37-50. I would encourage you to read it if you are not familiar with the story. He had a dream from God for his life. All didn't go smoothly, but God was faithful.

Concentration camp survivor Corrie Ten Boom observed, "Every experience God gives us, every person He brings into our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see." I have found this to be true for all of us.

A.R. Bernard says," It takes courage to dream big dreams. You will discover that courage when you do three things: accept the past, trust God to manage the future, and make the most of the time He has given you today."

So don't be afraid to dream. God will refine them,and in the end you will find that the dream that came to pass was a part of God's plan for you.

With God's power working in us,God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine.
Ephesians 3:20
