This week I have been thinking about dreams, due to the book I am reading, From Good to Great in God's Eyes, by Chip Ingram. What is God's dream for me? After some reflection I have decided that I need to pray further about this. I don't think I dream enough. Certainly not big enough. It is kind of sad really.
Not to say that life is all about accomplishing all you can, but rather loving the God who gives us the opportunity to do great things for His glory. What does great look like? Who knows what God has in mind? Being willing, open, courageous, and ready... that is where I need to be.
The week closed out in tragedy as someone I knew only from afar, but I admired and respected, took his own life. He was a leader that seemed close to God, and he was being used by Him consistently to encourage others. This dream ended abruptly, with confusion and sadness remaining. Still a state of disbelief is about me.
I pray many cling to the Savior in this time. For me, dreams get replaced with discouragement and doubt. And I have to fight it. I have to go to Jesus, our only hope, again and again.
