dreams are not all that we think they are. when i say dreams, i mean the eyes-wide-open wishing kind of dreaming. everyone grows up with a dream in their heart. something to do, someone to be, something to achieve. how many people actually realise those dreams though? is it possible to attain that which you dream of? i believe so, with all my heart. i think i'm on a journey of realising that the journey and even the destination will probably look quite different to what i first imagined.
i suppose it's part of learning to walk with God, that we learn to let our own dreams go, and allow ourselfves to dream his instead. the dreams of God are very different to the dreams of man. not to say tht he doesn't want us to become world champions or incredible performers or dazzlingly clever. more that he has dreams that surpass those that we imagine. his dreams are dreams that when realised liberate prisoners to become princes.
his dream, his biggest dream, is to be reunited with those whom he loves. those whom he knows. thjose whom he made. those for whom he bled. those for whom he intercedes. those he protects, those he pursues, those he weeps over. those who know not his love. nor his friendship.
for the sake of that dream, for the sake of being a tiny part of seeing that dream come to pass, it's worth laying down mine to dream his, isn't it? what does my dream, no matter how exciting, have on something so great and glorious? so. why not. why not choose to dream with him. dream for him. dream his dreams.
to see those come to pass would be more than i could currently imagine. but then, i guess he is the ultimate dreamer. guaranteed.
