“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” – Hebrews 11:1
When I was a small boy, like many other young children, I had hoped for a pony. My Great Grandpa owned a farm out in the country and they had horses, and I think it was when I formed this dream of wanting my own. The thing is though, I was 8 or 9 and I couldn’t really fathom the responsibility or cost of taking care of a pony, but I knew it would be fun to ride. Over time of course the reality of life has taken over and the dream and hope for a pony has long since dissipated, and has been replaced with dreams to provide for the dreams and hopes of my children. As children, there is much more freedom to dream and hope for big things in life because they have an unencumbered faith that all things are possible.
When December 31, 2012 rolls around (and it will) what will have accomplished this year, other than aging 365 days. You have the opportunity to do amazing things if you can once again put aside the inhibitors and remove the obstacles that traditionally halt your dreaming. Do you believe that all things are possible through the Lord? Really? Because if you do, then why aren’t you pursuing your dreams. We tend to allow society and worldly thinking to limit our capabilities in life and establish how far we can go.
Most of us have dreams and desires to impact the world for God, but get out of bed each morning and march through the day doing the same old thing day after day after day. Is this the cycle you wanted to be on when you were younger and had a plan for your life. When the younger generation are looking at the differences you have made in this world, are they dreaming of following your footsteps. Nothing separates you from becoming more for God’s Kingdom than your desire, commitment and choice to take a step. This year I’m asking you to dream big again.
If you had no limitations (financial, physical, family, work) what would you do with your one and only life to expand God’s Kingdom on earth? Seriously think about this, without throwing up the typical resistance and excuses. Would you serve God wholeheartedly if you had nothing standing in your way? My hope for you this year is that you can become the servant that God has designed you to be, and that you are able to break out of the monotony of your daily rituals and dream big things for His Kingdom.
