Dream On

Don’t let your dreams die.

It’s in our nature to dream. There are the dreams you dream when you’re asleep, and there are the dreams you dream when you are awake. Let’s talk about your daydreams for a minute.

When your daydreams drift to fantasy worlds and unrealistic results, they’re pretty useless. But when you use your dreams to focus on something better for yourself and others, they can be very motivating. One big dream every Christian should have centers on the stuff God has prepared for us beyond this life on Earth (1 Cor. 2:9). This is not a fantasy land (although the mansions and gold streets may seem like that).

Heaven is for real. When you dream of heaven, you are dreaming of something very realistic. This should give you tremendous motivation to serve God on Earth and love Him with your whole being.

What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.

Hebrews 11:1
