Thoughts for dreamers......

You don’t have to have a dream that others consider great, for it to be important in God’s eyes.

If your dream’s to be a great parent, that doesn’t mean you don’t have great faith, it just means you understand your calling. All Moses’ mother did was to give birth - but oh what a baby! God protected her son when she couldn’t do a thing to help him. Then He brought her to Pharaoh’s house and paid her to raise him. And when you discover your purpose, God will provide for you too! If you want to see the resources come, get the mission straight!

No matter how big your dream is, don’t let it intimidate you! As a child Joseph dreamed of being a great leader - which first landed him in a pit, then a prison. “Where’s your dream now, Joseph?” Understand this: your dream won’t always look like it’s coming together. Sometimes it’ll seem to die before it springs to life. The Bible says that Abraham ignored the fact that his body was almost dead, believed God and fathered Isaac, even though biologically speaking; it seemed like a lost cause.

Paul dreamed of taking on the world for Christ and folks around him called him a fool. Did that derail him? Not one bit. Listen: “We are fools for Christ” (1Co 4:10 NIV). God uses radical people who don’t care what they look like, people who’ve survived difficult pasts, defied the odds, held on to their dream and declared, “My God is able!” And you can be one of those people!
