When Your Dreams are Snuffed Out

October 27, 2011

You were made for more.

You were made to serve the most Holy Lord.

And to serve Him joyfully.

Have you ever had times when others snuffed out your dreams to serve?

“It’s too dangerous,” they say.

“You don’t have the money or resources,” they object.

“I really don’t think that’s a good idea,” they dampen.

“It’s just not going to happen,” they proclaim defeated.

Trust Him. Trust that He is in control and can work all things for His good. His ways are beyond understanding. What some think is impossible becomes a missed opportunity. God loves to use the impossible. He excels in using the weak.

Don’t be the discourager. Don’t be the cynicist. Let go and walk the narrow road. Encourage the young. But realize you are never too old either. Let go and let God do what He does best. Become a part of His story.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
{1 John 4:7-12 ESV}

Blessings!
