Dream Big

Dreams. We all have them. Some may be big and some may be small, but nevertheless they all mean something special to us. And no, I’m not talking about dreams you have at night when you are sleeping. I am talking about something you have always wanted to do but never thought it would be possible. Disney calls dreams “a wish your heart makes”. Some call dreams “a bucket list”. Others may call them a life goal. But no matter what you call dreams; they all come from a deep-rooted passion that burns inside our soul to fulfill a certain purpose.  This past weekend I got to hear Chris Hodges the pastor of Church of the Highlands in Birmingham, AL. He started a new series called “Dream Again” which inspired this post. (If this topic interests you, I highly recommend watching it online!)

Hodges discussed the importance of dreams in our spiritual lives and made it clear that dreams have the ability to be the language of God. I have always had dreams, but I never thought about writing them down or giving them a second thought because I immediately wrote them off as never being possible. The sermon today made me realize that God is a God with no limits who can do the impossible. “Jesus replied, "What is impossible with man is possible with God." (Luke 18:27) His power knows no end. “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27) Who am I to put a limit on what God can do with my life and with my dreams?

If you get anything out of this, I want to encourage you to dream. Even if it seems silly and never attainable, let God use your dream to show you all the things He can do. Let Him speak to you through your dreams. Trust Him, Seek Him, and Dream Big. You never know what could happen ;)
