DIFFERENT.
sorry for the ultra-short post yesterday. i had alot to think about; going back to school has revealed new things I'm still learning to deal with one day at a time.
but the question still rings true:
WHAT
IS
YOUR
DREAM?
supposed you don't know what it is yet. you're thinking: how do you find it? what is life all about? what is it going to be of me? i find my answers in God, others find them in family responsibilities, many still are searching far and wide. you will know what your dream is when you find that life has taken on a purpose and a meaning, and you live each day with renewed hope that every step brings you closer to realising it. if you find that it's too delusive for your own hands, it doesn't hurt to ask God. He always helps, whether you know it or not. Mark 7:8, Mark 11:24, Matthew 21:22, Luke 11:10 and John 16:24 all tell of His faithfulness and goodness.
supposed you've forgotten it. say, you had one which you fought seriously for, but you got distracted - disorientated, veered off course, lost your spirit, whatever you call it - and now you can't seem to find a way back to it. you're disappointed, and you're probably thinking: What did i do wrong? Was it the wrong dream? Am i doomed a failure? the answer is simple. you can either revive your old passion for it - if it really was a part of your life you could try to relive some memories and carry the flame alive. Or you could try asking God to help. if it truly was your dream, He will put you back on the right path. you might not see it then, but when you look back at history, hasn't He been loving and merciful to us? if you seem to have lost it, He will put upon your heart a new dream, one that will rejuvenate your soul and stir your heart. Isaiah 13:19 speaks of God's eagerness to work in your life, to change the old heartaches to new joy.
supposed you got it! you're happy, delighted, JOYFUL even. you accomplished your life's task! but you still feel oddly empty when the sense of accomplishment and success wears off. you think: is this it? after the toil and labour, i get a momentary euphoria? what's the rest of my life about then? so you think your life holds no meaning now. well, Job 7:16 reflects this exact human thought. but the bible also tells us that God can give a new vision to us. like when you lost a dream, He can give you another bigger, better "souped-up with the onions" kind of dream you could never possibly fathom. your achieved dreams are like stepping stones to your final colossal dream you will achieve.
whatever it is, here's to LIVING YOUR DREAM. so i ask again:
WHAT
IS
YOUR
DREAM?
be seeing you guys again soon.
♥ I'VE GOT HEAVEN ON THE INSIDE OF ME.
peace and joy God has set me free.
peace and joy God has set me free.
