Dream!

Don’t give up on your dreams! Dreaming gives life more meaning and you’ll be happier if you have something to look forward to. The Bible says that, “where there is no vision the people perish.” When you can’t see where you’re going you lose you hope for the future and life begins to seem dark and dreary. But the knowing that “the sun will come out tomorrow” brightens your day today. And no matter how bad things get you always have the hope of heaven. It’s an amazing thing that when you look up things seem to be looking up and when you look down everything seems to be going down the drain of doom. Everyday is a gift and you have the privilege of projecting your future. So since you’re the one controlling the show in your psyche why not put something good on the screen? “Yea but what if it doesn’t come to pass?” So what! People worry about stuff that never happens and it torments them. But why not turn over a new leaf and dare to dream again? You might not be able to “do” everything you that you’ve ever wanted but you can still experience it in your dreams. What an awesome gift we’ve been given, it’s your imagination. You can see and be whatever you want to be and then when you decide we want to try something else you just move on with no maintenance or effort of mobilization. And the dream is often better than the reality anyway so why not enjoy it?

You may be stuck at a certain station in life but the scenery is only as limited as your imagination. Sometimes you can’t change things on the outside but you can always change things on the inside. And your happiness is determined by what’s in your heart not what’s on the horizon. So when you’re in the midst of adversity it’s is a good time to play pretend. Not to deny reality but just a bit of something to help you get through it. Because the hope of what’s on the other side may be the only bridge that can get you there. So stop moping and start coping. Everyday take at least some time to forget about reality and change your future simply by changing what’s on your silver screen.

Jer 33:3
3 'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'
NKJV

Acts 2:17
17 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
NKJV

Isa 29:8
8 It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams,
And look — he eats;
But he awakes, and his soul is still empty;
Or as when a thirsty man dreams,
And look — he drinks;
But he awakes, and indeed he is faint,
And his soul still craves:
So the multitude of all the nations shall be,
Who fight against Mount Zion."
NKJV

Ps 126:1-3

126 When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion,
We were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations,
"The Lord has done great things for them."
3 The Lord has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
NKJV
