A Dream Worth Believing In

* I just want to note that I did not write this, a friend of mine did. I was cleaning out my word documents when I found it and thought it was too good not to share with everyone. It really captures some thoughts that have been stirring in my own heart lately so I hope you all enjoy.*


Think about what you desire. Think about what you dream. Think about that which stirs your soul. Now answer these questions.


Does it bring into perspective the pages of your story you are already holding? In other words, can you see your past leading up to it...or perhaps preparing you for it? And vice versa...if this dream were to happen, this desire fulfilled...can you see how it would make more sense of your past? Shed more sunlight on it? Or even rescue you from it?


Does it explain the longing in your heart for a life you haven't found yet? Think of the life you crave to live. Would this desire or dream fit securely into it? Do you see this thing expanding and complementing you life, rather than limiting you? If this dream comes true, do you think you could do and be more for God, than you could otherwise? Would it strengthen you as a person and further your quest to become that which you were created to be?


Does it give you back your heart? Does it take away pain? Does it lead you down a path of adventure, life and love?


If you've been answering "yes" to these questions, perhaps it's time to start believing in your dream. Now here's one more question. How would you live differently if you believed it to be true...if you believed it could happen...if you believed it was from God?
