We read in scripture that the Joseph of the Old Testament was quite the dreamer. His dreams did not just humor him; they predicted his future. Joseph of the New Testament dreamed as well. His dreams often answered the nagging questions in his heart. Both Josephs discerned their dreams, and listened to them. Through belief, they came to see the dreams come true.
Hans Selye is quoted as saying realistic people with practical aims are rarely as realistic and practical in the long run of things as the dreamers who pursue their dreams.
If the Gospels has anything to teach us, it is to believe. And part of believing comes through being able to dream...of what could be, of what we are meant to be, of where life can take us. Dreams can be the doorways to wonderful changes in our lives, to great events, to important opportunities, to new levels. We obtain only what we work for. And we work for what we believe in. Do we look at the future in unrealistic terms? Or are our dreams based on present day realities? To live the dream requires stepping forward and risking. We can't sit back and just wish.
What are your dreams? More importantly, what are you doing to make them come true?
