Here is something to think about. "There once was a child that dreamed a dream. The child told the dream to everyone. Through grammar school and high school, the dream was told.Some people laughed at the dream thinking it not possible,yet the child still held on to the dream.The child now grown and out of college, still told the dream. Then one day the dream that was told and told, for so many years, wasn't a dream anymore!"
The other night,the Lord woke me up with this one. "What happened to your dream, child?"We all have a dream. We envision certain things for our lives.Then something happens that take away our dream. We may have to drop out of school. We may get married and give up our dream. We may have to work and don't have the time to give our dream.We stop talking about our dream!
To have a dream,to have a vision, we must talk about it! It must be near to you everyday. In other word's,a dream is like a goal that we set for ourselves.Some of us are living unfulfilled lives because we have given up on our dream! Some of us walk around angry because we have given up on our dream!Some of us blame others because we have lost our dream! The real problem is that we stopped talking about it!
In today's passage Joseph dreamed a dream and he told his brothers the dream. He talked about his dream. He made it known to others. I remember telling others about my dream,but when certain things happened in my life,I gave up on my dream. I stopped talking about it. I gave up on God's power to make my dream happen!
Joseph dreamed many dreams and they all came true not because of his power but because of God's Power! That same power is still available for us today. It's never to late to have a dream and just like that child,one day it may not be a dream anymore!Today I ask you the same question the Lord asked me. "What happened to your dream,child?" Never forget your dream!!
"Father,you have given us all dreams,goals for our lives,something that makes us hungry for life. We know that life without dreams is not really life at all, and we thank you now for them. Lord help us to fulfill the dream and vision you have for our lives. In Jesus mighty name,Amen."
