“For God does speak…in a dream.” Job 33:14-15 NIV
Resurrect your dream
God is the giver of dreams. “For God does speak…in a dream, in a vision…when deep sleep falls on people” (vv. 14-15 NIV). Unless you want to spend the rest of your life being unfulfilled and uninspired, take your dream out of the closet and blow the dust off. It’s easy to get caught up in the “have tos” of life—working; caring for children, spouses, and aging parents; taking care of homes, etc. But you must believe that you can resurrect your life and your dreams and believe you have the ability to tap into the enthusiasm you once felt for life. You must have the courage to face the disappointments of the past, take a good look at how you got off the path, and see where you are headed. Then you have to silence the voice in your head that says: “This is all there is. Who are you to want more from life? You can’t do it; it’s too late for you.” We give up on our dreams because we think that’s what grownups are supposed to do. But as we mature, we realize that reaching for our dreams is what makes us feel alive. The truth is that with love, prayer, and great attention, your dream, like Lazarus, can be resurrected (see Jn 11:43). The secret of recapturing dreams is to enjoy the pursuit of the dream rather than focus on the outcome. Achievement in this case is not about position, fame, or financial compensation, but about doing what you love. That’s what Jesus promised: “I am come that they might have life, and…have it more abundantly” (Jn 10:10 KJV).
