Thursday Thoughts (Follow Your Dreams)

“A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure” -Proverbs 16:9

We are who GOD says we are and no one else. We can do all He says we can do. Don't doubt yourself. Since God's word says "I can do All Things Through Christ who gives me strength" -Philippians 4:13; We are capable of ANYTHING in and through our Lord!!!

This is great for our dreams! Go after your God given desires and God given dreams, Seek God in all you do and let Him lead and direct your paths!!! He can accomplish far more than we can hope or imagine when we walk through life palms up!

Don't base your self worth on who the world or man says you are. Don't base your self worth on what you think you cannot do. God wants to do so much through us! Ever think you haven't even begun to scratch the surface of who you truly are, what you can do in this world, the ways you can be used for God's glory?

God says "We are beautiful and we are loved and we can do all things through HIM who gives us strength!"

All things. Not some. Not a few. ALL things!

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
~Henry David Thoreau

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
~Harriet Tubman

Can we afford to put our dreams off to the side in this day & age?

Believe God has something BIG in store. Bigger than all of us. Seek Him on it & run for it!

We can't go wrong when our sole desire is to be used for greater good! Give God your all and He will give you His best! Complete with ups & downs a long the way, because that's life. But if you are alive & reading this, then the best IS yet to come. Because With God, it can only get better, as we grow deeper in a relationship with Him. It can only get better as we grow stronger & wiser through Him.

In the last days, God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.' -Acts 2:17

Proverbs 29:18 says "When there is no vision the people perish"

Be encouraged! Allow yourself to be open to God-given dreams and visions. God wants to use our dreams to show us we can trust Him, believe His Word, Be used for so much more and rejoice in hope that comes from Him & Him alone!

In a post by Joel Osteen he says "the Latin word for 'desire' means 'from the Father.' One way to tell if a dream is really from God is that the desire won’t go away. You may have had it for years, but you still can’t let it go. In fact, you may have tried to let it go, but it won’t let go of you."

DON'T give up on your dreams! Protect them from negative people & those who only see doom & gloom! Remember, with God, anything is possible. And we are made to live for so much more!

"Meant To Live"

Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

[Chorus]

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live
