Have
you had your Joy Juice today? It will
bring joy to our Heavenly Father if we drink it faithfully!
Do you realize that we bring joy
to God when we are living out the dream that He placed in our hearts? You see,
fulfilling our dream is not really about making ourselves happy. It’s not even about feeling significant or
gratified. It’s not for the admiration or praises of other people. Those are
benefits of the living out our dream, but that’s not what’s important. Our motivation should be to fulfill the call
that God has placed on our lives… for His glory! (When a Woman Discovers Her
Dream by Cindi McMenamin).
In
Matthew 22:37 we are told about our primary calling: and that is to 'Love
the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
mind.
Our secondary or
specific calling is HOW we carry out our expression of love for God—through our
thinking, speaking, living and acting entirely for Him. We can’t separate the dream from the One who
has whispered that dream into our heart.
If there was no Dream Giver, there would be no dream.
May I
challenge you to think back to your childhood…what did you really want to be
when you grew up? Is that dream still in
your heart today? Then it may be God’s
plan for you! Let’s give our dreams to Him….after all, He is the One who placed
it in the garden of our heart. As we
pursue a closer walk with Him, He will water that dream seed and help it to
grow until it comes to fruition. Oh,
what a joyful day that will be!!!!
Let's remember that our primary
dream should be to drink in the joy of Jesus!
