Do
you have one?
Maybe
you’re asking what is a God-sized dream?
Author Holley Gerth describes it this way…
A God-sized Dream = A desire in your heart for
more of what God has for you.
I would add to
that…
A dream God plants in our hearts…one that seems impossible—and
would be…if it were left up to us to fulfill.
But that’s the
thing about a God-sized dream…He doesn’t ask us
to take care of it on our own.
Because it’s not
about what I can do. Or what you can do.
It’s about what He wants to do in and through us.
And how He chooses
to do that is up to Him.
But here’s the
really cool thing…He wants us to be involved!
That desire you’re
feeling in your heart that you can’t explain?
It’s from Him.
He’s planting that
desire and growing that dream.
Wondering what you
should do about it?
He’ll let you know.
In His time and in His way.
Please don’t
dismiss it because of nerves or fear because you won’t be going it alone.
He’ll go before you
and He’ll walk beside you.
Every step of the
way.
Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.
Deuteronomy 31:8 NLT

LOVE this Laura! Can't wait to journey along with you!!
ReplyDeleteGreat thoughts. God sized dreams will always take us out of our comfort zone. Thanks for linking this up today, Laura!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! What is your dream? Struggling through my words to get mine out there. I"m in a weird season of not knowing . . .
ReplyDeleteLove the Deuteronomy passage. Such truth! Thankful for others to dream with. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is so encouraging!!! I've let fear and disappointments hold me back for so long, but not anymore. Even if things don't turn out the way I hope, I will continue to move forward and keep dreaming.
ReplyDeleteSo thankful God doesn't plant dreams and then walk away to let us figure things out on our own!
I think this will be a wonderful series. I look forward to reading both Holly and your writing re this as we all open ourselves up to God and His dream for us. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteDear Laure
ReplyDeleteI have found that even if we want to obey our PappabGod, we are not able to. Therefore I am so glad that He works His desires into our hearts and provides the ability to obey ... sort of obeying in and through us.
Much love XX
