There is nothing like a dream to create the future.

~ Victor Hugo

Without a vision, people lose sight of their purpose in life. They lose their determination, courage, their will to fight for freedom. A dream is the seed to a hope, a starting point for belief, an idea that fuels the future.

“Without a vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18, paraphrased).

The life of a people is in their dreams and aspirations for the future, and that life is empowered ten-fold when those dreams and aspirations are divinely-inspired. After all, God did create us with the capacity to dream, imagine, create, and hope for a reason. He knew how powerful an idea in the mind of a man would be. So powerful, in fact, that He used that capacity to dream and envision as the primary way to inspire His written word in the hearts of the many biblical authors.

Your imagination is a potent force for doing great things, especially when under the guidance of the Divine Creator and Author of your life! He wants us to dream, imagine, aspire, create. Faith and belief in something literally creates the substance of that faith. It is the concrete evidence of what was previously unseen or unable to materialize.

So let yourself dream and find hope for your future as you seek His guidance in your life. Don’t suppress or dismiss your natural-born desires and dreams as being impossible or silly or impractical. God intentionally implanted within you the desires and dreams that you have, and if you are seeking after Him with all your heart, He will use them significantly as He enacts His unique purpose for your life.

Dreams are meant to be dreamed, dreams are meant to be lived. Make sure you don’t ever ignore your dreams.

What is a dream???

A dream is something you want to do… something your heart desires. If you let go of your dream without trying to make it happen, are you really living your life?

Where do the desires of your heart come from? How does the dream given to you become a desire or vise versa?

A desire of the heart is also a calling from the GOD. The creator of all, gives us gifts, things we do well and also desires… things He wants us to do with our gifts.

I believe that as we follow the Lord and become close to Him in our lives, He will take care of us in many ways. One of those ways is through dreams. The dreams He gives us help…
