Dream big! That was the theme of a conference I recently attended. We were challenged to shed our self-imposed limitations and reach for the stars and as I headed home, my heart raced with anticipation of what laid ahead.
Then a strange thing happened. It suddenly dawned on me that despite what I had heard at the conference, my dreams could actually become an obstacle to finding fulfillment in life. I realized that what I really needed to do was abandon my dreams and discover God’s dream for my life.
God created each of us with a special purpose in mind. Discovering and fulfilling that purpose is the only way we will ever find the contentment God intended for us. So, despite the suggestions of the ‘experts’, what we really need to do is discover God’s dream for our life.
A friend frequently responds to the question, “How’s it going”, by saying, “Living the dream!” The question should really be, “Whose dream are you living?”
