Dare to Dream
'Oh how precious life is when the desires of
our heart come true and we take a bold step in faith to make a dream become
reality.'
One of my dearest friends
messaged me a few days ago with her ‘over the top’ news. You see she had prayed
for many months about the possibility of expanding her home-based business into
a storefront location.
She had done her
homework. She knew the potential pitfalls, the what-ifs, and the resources
needed. But she also knew that the possibilities could be endless.
So she continued to
commit her work to Christ and she faithfully prayed that He would honor her
requests; all the while waiting on His perfect timing and go-ahead as to the
direction He wanted her to pursue.
She was almost to the
point that her dream wasn't to be when an innocent comment on social media
landed just the right response for an available property.
God’s word tells us in Psalm 37:4 to, “Take
delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
She could hardly contain
her excitement about this new venture. Oh there is uncertainty too, but she
knew from her conversations with God that He had orchestrated every step of
this so perfectly.
Timing and circumstances
vary for all of us, but if we continue to lay our prayers and praises before
Him, we always get His perfect response. We may have to make adjustments along
the way, but He makes clear the direction we are to head.
What we do with His
response shows our trust and faithfulness in Him. We know we serve a mighty God
who can accomplish the impossible.
When we seek His will for
our life we are best served when we have an attitude of humility, perseverance,
faith, and above all to make sure that our goals and dreams align with His
ways.
His word tells us in Mark
6:36, "Don't be afraid; just believe." Jesus is the source of all
hope and promise, so give all of your cares to Him. He will make a way.
How sweet the soul that faithfully prays,
diligently commits the desires of the heart to her Heavenly Father, and
quietly, but boldly trusts Him to provide just the right path for her to
travel.
Do you have dreams and
aspirations for your life? Take it before God and let Him do his mighty work.
The outcome will be His, but it will be perfect for YOU!
Blessings & Hugs to
you in the week ahead. I'll be praying for you.
