Dare to Dream

This past weekend was the women's conference at my church. I had been anticipating the conference for a whole year; a conference with the theme of dream.

We all have dreams. We all have things God has placed in our heart for eternal purpose. Some we work hard for. Some we hold to ourselves. Some we are excited for. Some we are afraid of. But all stir something inside of us for more.

The thing about a dream is that generally, they wait a while before making an appearance. You get what I'm saying, right girls? We all have been pregnant with a dream, and for many, they have yet to birth the dream. It's a long and hard journey to seeing your dreams actualized.

If God has placed a dream, or many dreams, in your heart, than know that no matter how long or hard the wait, they will come to be. If your dream be a God dream, than it His His plan and purpose for your life.

I absolutely love what Paul says in Ephesians 3.20-21 (MSG),

"God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us."

So many women fail to see their dreams come to pass because they give up too soon. Too tired. Too impatient. Discouraged. Disconnected. Disheartened. There are many things on this earth that aren't being done because people are failing to see their dreams through.

Hebrews 10.35-36 in the NLT says,

"So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised."

Girls, one of the keys to seeing your dreams come true is to be patient. My prayer for each and every one of you is that your dreams would no longer collect dust. That your dreams would no longer make you afraid. My prayer for each and every one of you is that you would commit to endure, no matter the cost.

I dream to see women all across the earth rise up and live out the dreams God has placed on their heart. I truly believe that if women would endure to see their dream through, there would be a significant shift on the earth. I believe the Kingdom would advance in a way that it never has.

God can do anything you know! So go for it. Go for that dream you have pushed to the back of your heart. Go for that dream you believe could never happen. It won't be easy; but anything of worth is difficult. Imagine the possibilities for other people if YOU would step out and say "yes, Lord." God uses individual people for great causes. You are one of those people.

Dare to to make a difference. Yes, YOU. Dare to Dream!
