No cliché, just a fact... this
Creator of the universe has not just plans for our lives, but a dream; one with
a cosmic twist. It can only be realised
for individuals, by the individual in focus.
This is great news, however. You
are the one who, with God’s help, defines that dream; you, and only you.
It’s a cataclysmic hope that
people enter into: “Does God really
care that much about my life and how I live it?”
With an affirmative intent we
believe, yes... it’s true. No matter the
size of things in God’s estimation, and no matter how small we are in
comparison, we count to the
Almighty.
Unravelling a Mystery
God is no mystery other than to
understand now what we previously did not know, and for thought—in that
scope—of what we still do not know but may do one day. That is, God has revealed, and is now
revealing, those things that are mightily dream-worthy as they pertain to our
lives.
The mystery is meant to be unravelled; perhaps this is
why the present is called ‘the present’—it’s meant to be unwrapped and devolved
such that we live it in ‘revealed’ form.
When it comes to dreams we’ll be
liable to think there is no Divine dream for our lives, for we have no idea
what it could be. It’s just not been
revealed to us yet.
To unravel the mystery requires
inquiry and effort. Jesus’ eternal
invitation is that we ask, search and
knock:
“Ask, and
it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be
opened for you.”
~Matthew 7:7 (NRSV).
Living the Dream Once It’s Revealed
The dream is whatever you want it
to be (as it’s revealed by God) and that which God is blessing via all manner
of provision, insight and spiritual purpose and contentment. This is marvellous news because it’s personally
defined and divinely censured beyond the realms of worldly definition. (‘Success’ is such a plastic term. Only God makes ‘success’ real because it’s
now personally viable.)
It’s your dream and nobody else’s!
Dreams—once revealed—are lived
contentedly one day at a time. Yes, you
dream a dream and you know its power. It
can be true. When it comes to
pass—perhaps not even as you expect—you’ll really thank God.
Be assured, God has it for
you. Find it, then live it... set apart
to God.
