Hello Church!
I’m sitting in one of my favourite coffee shops, thinking of you, praying for you, and asking God to grant each one of us today a revelation of his great love for us. Somehow, some way, God please break into our busy days and pierce us with your gracious presence.
As I sit and type, a song by Neil Young has come up on my playlist, and it contains the very potent line:
“If you follow every dream, you might get lost.”
Read that again and let it sink in for a moment…
What dream are you following or chasing right now? The most important question: Is it God’s dream for you? Do we even know his dream for us? Generically speaking, it is the same for all – wholeness and holiness in Him. But each one of us is unique, and God has a unique dream for every one of his children, including you, that will provide you with a complete sense of fulfillment. It is our pleasure (and it brings him pleasure) to discover what this dream is. If you and I are going to invest our lives and time in following a dream, let us make sure it is the right one that leads to the right place.
“If you follow every dream you might get lost.” – Neil Young, The Painter
