Random Thought # 5 Dreams
We each have a dream-something we build our life around ,something that gives us a spark of energy in our day-to-day existence.Without dreams we simply wither up and die. If our dream is ballet, we envision ourselves on stage elegantly dancing like a radiant cherub before an awe-inspired crowd. If our dream is singing; we see in our mind's eye a throng on their feet cheering as we belt out a beautiful melody. Some of us dream simply, while others of us dream with Technicolor ambition. But we all dream. It is our dreams that define our life. It is our dreams that define the way we spend our time.We all dream, but a set-apart young woman dreams quite differently than the rest of her female contemporaries. Instead of dreaming dreams that bring her to center stage in society's spotlight, she begins to dream God's dreams for her life. and God's dreams cause her to seek her Prince above all else. She becomes fantastically preoccupied with her gallant Jesus.
To be a great ballet dancer demands time, and a lot of it. And to develop an angelic singing voice takes countless hours of intensive training. To be great at anything demands great amounts of time. To be great at knowing our Prince is no different. It takes time-and lots of it. It demands that every last drop of our physical energy be focused on Him. He can't be conveniently fit into our life; He must become what our lifestyle is built around. From the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep, He must become the center. And when He does, we quickly realize that God's dreams unlock the beauty of life itself.
