Currently I am reading “You’re made for a God-sized Dream” by Holley Gerth. What a powerful book (thank you Lori for your review on it)! I have had so many dreams for my life; but most of them have not come to realization.
“It’s tempting to hide our dreams away. We tell ourselves we’ll pursue them later or that we need to feel safer first. But the reality is, later may not come and living out a dream is risky no matter when we decide to do it.” ~ Holley Gerth
My sweet friend, the quote by Holley pierced my heart. Isn’t it true that we often concern ourselves with the nay-Sayers, but do not listen to the ones that encourage us? God has given us all dreams, and we need to stop being scared and move forward trusting Him to see us through. Take heart my friend and step out in faith, as I am now, trusting Him to give me the faith I need.
Trust in the LORD, and do good;
dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
(Psalm 37:3-4 ESV)
Lord of Mercy and Grace; thank You for giving me a God-sized dream. Thank You for giving me faith to see this one through and not get discouraged by the few nay-Sayers that want to squash my dream. I have let so many dreams slip through my hands; this one I am holding on to, because You give me the courage. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
