Look Your Dreams Right In The Eyes

What dreams are you chasing? 
Do they look menacing and intimidating as you look at them?  Do they cast a shadow as you look at them?

They should.
They must. 
If they don’t, they aren’t worth chasing.

We often conceive big dreams big, but then at the first sign of adversity we retreat back into the comfort of mediocrity. I

Don’t do it! 
Chase your dreams.
Pursue your dreams.

Look your dreams square in the eyes and go to work moment by moment to make them a reality.

The purpose of life is not to arrive safely at the end of your journey.  If you just look for the safe path you will be turning your back on dreams that are bigger than you are and you will settle for the status quo.

So hear you are with a decision to make. Pursue and chase your dreams, or turn and run away.  If you run away you will be running away the rest of your life.

It’s time to pursue.

I’m cheering for you.

Certainty Amidst Uncertainty

Matthew 19:26 ESV‬

[26] But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible“. 

In the journey of pursuing your dreams, there are moments when the path ahead seems insurmountable, and doubts begin to cloud your mind.  Yet, in those moments of uncertainty, draw strength from the words of Jesus. 

Matthew 19:26 will remind you that with man, many dreams may appear impossible to achieve.  The obstacles before you may seem too daunting, the challenges too overwhelming. 

But in the face of these seemingly insurmountable odds, Jesus assures you of a truth that transcends human limitations: “With God, all things are possible.”

As a follower of Christ, you are called to live a  life of faith, courage, and perseverance.  You are called to trust in the power of the Creator, who holds the universe in His hands. 

When you align your dreams with God’s purpose for your life, there is no limit to what you can accomplish.

So, my friend, do not be discouraged by the enormity of your dreams.  Do not allow fear to paralyze you or doubts to hold you back. 

Instead, press on with unwavering faith, knowing that your Heavenly Father is with you every step of the way.

When the road ahead seems long and difficult, remember that God is your ever-present help in times of need. 

No matter how impossible your dreams may seem, trust in the power of God to make them a reality.  With His strength, His guidance, and His unfailing love, there is nothing that can stand in the way of His plans for your life.

So, rise up with renewed determination and faith.  Continue to pursue your dreams with boldness and confidence, knowing that with God, all things are possible.

Be Blessed!
