God's dreams are bigger and better.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
~ Isaiah 55:9

Thoughts is translated from the Hebrew word machashabah. This word means plan or purpose. The expanse of space compared to earth is how much bigger and grander God's plans and ideas are for our lives.

But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
~ 1 Corinthians 2:9

Some folks would like to make you think that this passage is referring to when you die and go to heaven. Don't let them fool you. There is no mention of such a thing in the chapter. God has unimaginable things for us now and for eternity. Try to think of the very best things that could happen to you and realize that God's dreams for your life are even more lofty. The best thing is we don't have to rely on ourselves to make it happen. We just enjoy Him and let Him do the rest. There will some obedience involved.

Samuel said, "Has the Lord as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams."
~ 1 Samuel 15:22

God [unlike religion] is not interested in squashing our dreams, desires, and creativity (Psalm 37:4). He is interested in taking them, making them bigger and better, putting a whole bunch of stuff into them that we haven't considered, and bringing them into fruition. I believe that God will never ask us to do anything that's not in our hearts to do, but in order to see them come to pass, He will most certainly lead us to do what we are afraid to do. It forces us to trust Him.

"Do you want to know what you are called to do? What do you want to do? What are you afraid of?"
