Be a Dreamer

Be a dreamer. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no heart has conceived the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of one whose heart is entirely His.

Be a dreamer. Start dreaming, and dare to risk being disappointed. Dare to risk failure. Dream, then chase those dreams because no matter how far your dreams can take you, God has promised to take you farther. He is looking throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on your behalf. He wants to take your dreams and expand them farther than the human intellect can understand.

Love Him. This is all He has required. Taste and see that He is good. In Him is pure unending delight. Drink Him up. There is no pleasure greater than God Himself. There is no greater gift than Himself. Once you taste, you will never find satisfaction apart from His very presence. You will not find delight in anything but Him. You will never be disappointed again. Only God Himself is truly good, and you can never lose Him. If He alone is truly good and has promised to never leave you, you can never be disappointed. You can have the greatest pleasure existing has to offer, and you cannot ever lose Him.

He has promised to give those who delight themselves in Him the desires of their heart. When God makes a promise, He keeps it. He can take your dreams and expand them. He will establish them. He will make them a reality. Even if this was not a guarantee, you would still get Him. Even if your dreams were guaranteed to remain unfulfilled, you would still have access to the greatest pleasure in existence. You have guaranteed irrevocable access to the infinite ecstasy of knowing and being with God. When your dreams, however, do become reality in your life, this fulfillment will pale in comparison to the satisfaction you get from simply being with God.

This state of captivation and delight in God will effortlessly lead you to your dreams being motivated by the simple expression of who you are, who God made you. Once Jesus Himself becomes your satisfaction, your source, your obsession, your affection, and your delight, there is no more striving to impress others. There is no more striving to gain recognition or approval from anyone. There is no more striving to prove yourself. There is no more striving to build something. There is no need to build anything because that which will give you the utmost pleasure in life, know and being with God, has already been established for you. All the work involved in relationships has already been taken care of. God has no needs, no wounds, no insecurities, and no fear. He is an unending source of everything you need in a relationship. He is the ultimate Father, the ultimate King, and the ultimate Lover. He is the ultimate pleasure. With such spiritual, emotional, and physical fulfillment, there is no longer a need to do anything but be who you are. Part of being who you are, who God made you, is doing what you love simply because you enjoy it. There is no more striving because everything you do becomes a natural expression of the fulfillment you've found in Him.

Dreamers get a bad rap in this world. They always have. This is because of fear. People are afraid of failure. People are afraid of disappointment, rejection, and ridicule. Do not think for a moment that you have to impress or gain approval from anyone. God alone is the only one whose opinion should influence you, and when He is your ultimate delight, you will do what pleases Him. God's grace is enough to carry you into your destiny regardless of your weaknesses. His voice is the only voice which has your ear.

He is saying to you, "Be a dreamer. I've promised to back you up. Love Me. You will not be disappointed." When you begin to embark on the adventure, you will see that far more is possible and available than you ever dreamed. Do not allow others to put you in a box. Do not put yourself in a box. God doesn't.
