The question that lingers tonight is this: am I willing to trust God with my dreams ?? And I am not talking about the ones that involve sheep and clouds. !
Now, that is a large question. I am not just talking about the dreams that you and I have thought of from time to time and have thought to ourselves, "Oh, now that would be nice." NO, I am talking about those dreams that have been placed deep within you. The dreams that have been written on your heart by the hand of God and you know that His handwriting is there. These are the kind of dreams that you cannot forget. These are the kinds of dreams that no amount of difficulty or circumstance can erase from you mind and memory. In fact, in many instances, the more they are tested, the more they are confirmed.
Maybe for you, you have decided that punting on your dreams is a good thing, maybe the safest thing to do. Maybe you think that by doing this, your heart is safe. No risk of having your heart broken, again. !! But you know that you cannot punt on the very things that the God of the Universe has written deep within you. The question is, will you be willing to allow the dreams that God has placed within you to compel you on in your glorious pursuit of an all-surpassing, all-inspiring, all-dream launching God.
Maybe some others of you cannot quite uniquely define the exact things that God has written in your soul and you find it continually frustrating. I recommend that you begin to have a dialogue with God about what frustrates you. Maybe it is time to tell Him that you think that He maybe holding out on you. Maybe you feel that confusion is the state in life that you will forever live in. Talk to Him about it and see what He has to say. He wants you and I to know those things which He has created us for and He wants us to strive for those dreams. The ones that He and only He can write on our hearts.
I do know this, if the dream I am compelled by or the dream's I wish I could drop every for and pursue with every ounce of my being, are from God, He will accomplish His work in due time. Just trust Him, He knows when the time is right. Maybe you have some self made dreams that are really stumbling blocks for you, trust Him with those to. I can trust God with my dreams and passions. Truth is, am I willing to trust myself with these things more than God ???
God, what is it that you have written on my heart, deep within me that would cause me to glorify you with the most of my being as is possible ??

Okay. Here's my question. The dreams/desires of the heart are actualized for a period of time, then snatched away. Opportunities do not come your way but the desire is still there. Do we give up the dream and settle for what God has provided for us right here, right now, or do we go searching?
