You are a dream!
You are not an accident, you are not here by chance, and you aren’t just the result of two people coming together. You are so much more! Before the world began, God had you in mind. You were a dream in His heart. He smiled as He pondered about “when” He would place you in this world. It would be the perfect time of course. Everything about God is perfect. Long before your conception, He knew you. Then from His heart of love, He gave you His very breath for life.
Now here you are. You have been given this insurmountable gift of life and along the way you’ve made choices (some better than others) yet now you find yourself ready to make great choices for your relationships. God isn’t disappointed in where you are today; in fact, He revels in the opportunity of making wonderful out of your seeming failures. He’s a genius at this! He’s definitely not holding your mistakes and sins against you, because each one is covered and their penalty paid in full through Jesus. He doesn’t just “do” love… He is love.
So here you are…loved. There is a beautiful gift in front of you, begging for you to tear off the exquisite paper and delve into its contents. If you dare to open it, your life will never be the same. It’s the gift of knowing your song and how you represent God on earth.
If God truly loves making something out of nothing, then maybe, just maybe He can take your failures, your poor choices and selfish behavior and give you something so wonderful and new that it will exceed your wildest and richest dreams. You are embarking on the adventures of releasing the benefits of the gift of your new day. He gives beauty for ashes. Hope for despair. Peace for confusion. Joy in mourning. And He longs to clarify your gifts, and remind you that you are His dream.
Begin to reacquaint yourself with the essence of the song you were born to sing. Recapture the beauty, peace, and joy that it holds. It will benefit your relationships! Let’s not waste another moment wondering if God is here and aware of your circumstances, He knows them full well yearns to fulfill purpose through you. Deep down you want everything God has prepared for you. There’s life in you ready to be tapped into – limitless, energized, pure and purposeful life… never seen before. Jesus relates it to a well of rushing waters that never stops. God is capable of invading your seemingly limited relationships and cause His life to flow through you. And that’s a calming reality. Once you tap into that daily flow – get ready to live life to it’s fullest: effortless, enjoyable and highly effective.
The vision of the new you
The first new step to experiencing new is envisioning your future with eyes of faith. The “dream you” if you will! Don’t just take a glance, but enjoy the details of who you want to become. When Jesus walked on earth, before healing someone, or setting him or her free, he would ask, “What do you want?” We believe a more accurate intention of the translation would be Him asking, “What are you willing for me to do for you?” Seeing yourself, as you desire to be is answering that very question. Will you come into agreement with God’s view and opinion for your life? Would you be willing to see yourself living out the promises of God? There is an adjustment that will come to your life where you move into an agreement with God’s preferred future and you begin with a simple, “Yes, I am willing”. Be prepared for the hand of God to touch your life and energize the miraculous within you. This is just the beginning! This is an incredible investment in every one of your relationships!
As you articulate the “dream you” remember – this life is limitless but doesn’t involve circumstances or other people. It’s tempting to believe that our dream includes more money, great relationships, vacations, and luxuries, but those are things we cannot be sure of. However, the one thing you can be sure of is that you are in perfect agreement with how God sees you and feels about you.
