Fear sees the obstacles that block the path before you.
Faith sees the Lord that makes straight your paths.
Many times in life, we are
greatly tempted to focus more on the reasons why something can’t happen than
why the can happen. God is GOOD and if
the dream that lives within you has been placed there by Jesus, then it is His
utter desire to bring this dream about in your life.
Often times, we are easily distracted by the
frustrations that arise within the journey to our dreams. We start out in the journey towards the
coming true, with a belly full of hope. Commitment, assurance, and trust seem
in ample supply, but before too long, we come across our first seemingly
impassable and it is here, that many a dreamer abandons their belief. The times when we should be digging deep within
the Lord’s strength, we instead become fixated on the difficulty or
discouragement.
My conviction here is
not to point fingers at you, more rather encourage you. I too have felt victim to such a thought. I too abandoned a dream long ago. I know how convincing the obstacles and
discouragement can seem. I write this
blog tonight and offer the encouragement with you that I wish someone had given
me when I was struggling to keep my eyes more on the Lord than the obstacles
that stood in my way.
The obstacles before you is merely a distraction, no
more. Please be willing to stay focused
in your Faith. If you are currently
feeling your Faith waiver, please do not be ashamed to offer that to Jesus. He
desires so greatly to offer encouragement and strengthening to you in your
struggle. After you’ve made such a prayer, please be willing to find a way to
allow yourself some peaceful time to receive what Jesus will offer you. The
Holy Spirit connects with us daily, but we have to calm our Spirit enough to be
witnessed to. If your schedule looks as
many people do…busy, busy… I offer this suggestion. Right before you go to bed at night, stand or
sit at your bedside and just allow quiet to wash over you. Give those minutes to God. Don’t allow a
recapping of all that is wrong with that day, but instead, just allow yourself
to live present in the moment knowing that you are loved by God and His utter
desire is to see the dreams that He’s planted within you come about.
I have picked up my abandoned dream that I
spoke of, and I am more committed to it now than I was before. The suggestions I just made are ones that I
implemented in to my life in order that I started learning to feed my FAITH
more than I did my FEAR. I pray this is
of benefit to your lives this evening. I
wish each of you the best in your journey with our Loving Lord Jesus.
