Dreams move us, compel us they can even consume us. Many of the dreams on our hearts are God given dreams, they are part of our ultimate purpose and we are to live them out. But sometimes, those dreams are expectations we have either put on ourselves or others have put on us and they cause great stress and pressure in our daily lives. We follow those kind of dreams because we fear that others will not accept us, so we go after someone else's dream and not our own.
I have fallen victim to this chase...pretty sure you have too. It was not intentional, but feeling accepted felt good and the idea of what was presented to me seemed like a good idea. The real problems came when I began comparing myself to others. That is when a new demon named
Self Doubt stepped in and the great dream then became a burden.
If this is you, STOP! There is an amazing calling on your life, your life has purpose, you have a future filled with hope and promise. You have gifts, talents and abilities that the world needs because you have been empowered to use them.
Pay attention to that dream in your heart, but I encourage you to pray on it and seek God. A God given dream may not be "comfortable", but it will always be followed by peace.
