I have been thinking a lot lately about Joseph. He was a dreamer, hense the title of my blog today!
A Joseph dream is something that God can honor. God honored Joseph because he dared to dream. Joseph was open to dreaming God's dream. Through all the noise he still chose to dream God's dream.
Many people live empty and unsatifying lives. Because of this they turn to behaviors that are not honoring to themselves, their families or God. They engage in things to fill the emptiness, sexual immorality of all kinds (no need to go into details, you get the point), drugs and alcohol, even the internet and all that it has to offer good and bad. Even the good things can be consuming and become a binding and controling thing in a life.
Dreaming big can be restricted by these binding things we allow to come into life. We are forced to give into the pain and our families and all those connected to us get hurt. Dreaming big fulfills and brings satisfaction. It's easey to get caught up in life and the busyness of it all... Our challenge is to continue to dream and do active things to fuel the dream and bring it to reality. What are we doing to bring these things to reality?
Working with youth, children, young ladies, the homeless, and so much more can be just the tip of a dream. Doing things that fuel that dream can bring meaning to life and even instill "dreaming" into the lives of our children.
Let's allow God to foster a dream that we work actively to making reality. Open your life and do relevant things that you can accomplish for fulfillment to come into our lives.
Blessings,
