Surviving to Dreaming and Believing
I’ve spent a good portion of my life surviving. Calculating my next bill, my energy level for my next plan, or limiting what I could do based on fear.
As God has continued his healing work in my life He has been teaching me to dream.
He told me dreaming is reaching. It’s reaching for something. I guess I never believed I could reach too far.
I used to wait expectantly for the next bad thing to happen. But God has been showing me that He’s big enough for anything. Why not expect the future to be filled with His miracles?
In preparation for the conference, God taught me something new through a dear friend. That doubt is putting a negative on the future. That I can eliminate doubt. Yeah! Right!? I can say no! To doubt?
I’ve been changing my “What ifs?” to positives based on God. What if it’s good, what if he showed up?! What if God heals me? What if it goes great? And you know what? It’s not positive thinking.
It’s faith. It’s believing God is who He says He is, He can do all He says He can do, and He will.
I didn’t know I could reach or dream because I’ve been doubting who He is. But, He’s teaching me to fly. To dream and to reach because He’s already in tomorrow. I never imagined I’d occupy that space in my heart!
But God has made that possible when I couldn’t even imagine it before.
Thank you, Lord!
