I started dreaming in India. When it was so hot that I didn’t want to move, I dreamed. However, I was cautious with my dreams. I don’t want to live a selfish life for myself, I want to live my life for Jesus. I believed I should stay present, and shouldn’t dream too much about the future. What if my dreams weren’t what God wanted for my life? So, I kept my dreaming to a minimum, stayed away from planning, and kept my goals attainable. After all, the world teaches people not to have lofty goals, and to have a plan to accomplish them. I don’t like being let down, so anytime my dreams began to be unattainable, I pushed those thoughts out of my head.
As the weeks went by, the same dreams continued to come up. Where were these dreams coming from? They didn’t line up at all with how I always pictured my life to look.
One day, God gave me a revelation. If I have a relationship with God and my heart is aligned with his, then the desires of my heart will be his. That means all the dreams I’ve been having are from him?! That would explain why all of my dreams seemed so impossible! God doesn’t want me staying in my comfort zone, because then I wouldn’t need him! If I keep small attainable dreams, it tells God I don’t really trust him to do what seems impossible. Dreaming big dreams honors God. He wants me to have big, lofty, unattainable dreams so I NEED him. That way, when I accomplish my dreams, I can give God the glory, because there is NO WAY I could have done it on my own.
I realized if I stopped dreaming about the future and stopped working towards my goals, how will I ever move forward and grow? I don’t want to wait until the end of the race to see what God wants to do because I’m not confident in him. I want to dream big bold dreams. I want to ask what can I be doing right now to start working towards the dreams you have for me? Whats the 1% I can be doing right now? God didn’t design us to sit and wait for life to happen. He call us to take a step of faith and GO.
