I, myself am a dreamer. Whether at night or in day I find myself contently dreaming.
The hard thing is, filling the the gap of reality and dreaming. Are dreams part of Gods plan, or my plan? are my dreams bringing me closer to God, or farther apart? I wish I had an answer.
Dreaming is part of me, as a child I always had what one might call an overactive imagination. I have since brought that trait into my teen years.
God gives dreams, I believe that. I believe he places desires in our hearts. When Godly desires, we should follow them.
But what happens, when we think we are fallowing our dreams, and Gods plan, yet all of a sudden find yourself lost, not knowing reality from a dream? not knowing what to do, or where to go?
What happens when we build up so much hope on one dream and when that dream is not fulfilled, or we soon find out we should let go of that dream? where do we turn? what do we do? You see everywhere, from bill boards to Disney princess movies " follow your dreams." " Listen to your heart."
"The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?" ( Jeremiah 17:9)
The heart can lead one astray quicker than you think.
Yet the bible also says.
"Delight yourself in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart" ( Psalms 37:4)
What I think that verse means, is that if we just surrender, let go of all our dreams, as hard as it may be. Give it all to God. And he will give you the desires of your heart.
Its so simple, yet so hard. But even when we fail, even when we have dreams that we think are great, and true, when we have broken dreams, God will pick up all the brokenness in our lives, in our dreams, and create something new and wonderful. Better than anything we could ever dream of.
"“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold,
I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I
will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." ( Isaiah 43:18-19)
