“DREAMS”!

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 557

December 14, 2021///

I have a small pot with a flower that I thought was dead. There was no sign of life in the stalk that no longer had a bloom on it.

I was going to plant in in the planters we have on our back deck to see if it would live and set it on the deck rail until I got to it.

I did not get to it, and it was moved to the table on the deck when Christmas lights were put on the rail.

Behold! One day I looked and there are two beautiful blooms reaching up toward the sky, praising the creator God!

I thought there was only death but there was life deep in the soil ready to burst forth!

Do you have a dream that was once vibrant with life and hope! Did that dream get crowded about by the situations of life and difficulty of days gone by?

Is that dream buried deep and set aside as could have been, should have been, moments and times?

Are you living in the if only phase of life and the attitude that it is too late for my dream and my desires that God gave me to happen?

May I tell you that just like my little flower it is never too late!

Yes, I said to myself that I should have taken better care of the plant and maybe it would not have died but it was not really dead!

Jesus came to give us life and life abundantly and He who put the dreams and desires within you to begin with can bring them to full bloom as we go forward one step at a time releasing those dreams to His Lordship!

Isaiah 61:11 (KJV)
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Whatever God has placed in our Spirits to do is for His praise and to bring people to truth and trust in a good, good, Father!

Romans 11:29 (KJV)
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

No matter our circumstance, God has not removed the dreams and desires He placed within us. We may have them buried so deep we think they are gone but when we commit them to the one who gave them and follow the first step He gives, they will begin to sprint forth!

2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV)
 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Mary said, “Be it unto me”!

The leper said, “if you will,” Jesus said, “I will”!

The little boy gave his meager lunch to Jesus and Jesus fed thousands as He Blessed it!

Are we willing to bring our dreams and desires and lift them to the Father and let Him take them, and Bless them, and give the ones that are from Him back to us?

Are we willing to ask Him for the next step to take as we take the ones that are of Him and go forward with them?

What is the one thing we can do this day or this week to follow the leading of the Lord? Are we willing to release all our dreams and desires to the Creator and be willing to receive back only those that are from Him?

The Psalmist said it this way:

Psalm 37:5 (KJV)
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

What is that thing that moves you like nothing else! What is it you regret not doing in the past? What action in life would bring you the most joy? It is never too late with Father God!

I challenge you to commit the deepest desires of your heart to Him and follow that still small voice!

He can! You can! The dream is alive!

Father, thank you that each of us were created on purpose and for a purpose. Our true joy is found when we are walking in our purpose. Revive our dreams and desires today and as we release them to you, and as you Bless them may each of us take that next step! In Jesus name! Amen

If you are breathing, God is not through with you! Love, MeMaw
