What is your dream? Big question for such an early morning. A dream, a heart dream, is not a new car, house, job or any other material thing, a true heart dream is something money cannot buy. Think about it, if you had enough money to buy whatever you wanted, the dream would still be deep inside of you crying out for fulfillment. Let me ask you again, what is your dream? God placed a dream in your heart, that would bless others if you were living it. Your dream fulfilled is your gift to us as well as to you.

Due to our reality we are more famiiiar with dreams not coming true, we struggle to even know what our dream really is. We read Proverbs 12:12 which says, “Hope postponed grieves the heart; but when a dream comes true, life is full and sweet,” and we resonate more with hope postponed than with dreams come true. Hope is something you are expecting to happen, and according to this verse hope has a clock attached to it and when the timer goes off and the dream is not yet fulfilled we struggle, we stop, we become lazy in our hoping, believing, dreaming.

God does not put a dream in your heart to tease you. However, we need to sort through our soul, letting the word of God divide our thoughts and intentions (Hebrews 4:12), because many of our “dreams” are actually desires we picked up from living in this world. We have to sift through all of the desires in order to discover the dreams. Dreams and desires may sound the same but one is self-serving (desire) and the other is for serving others (dream). What is your dream? What service can you give that would help others and make you feel fully alive if it was realized? “A dream fulfilled is the sweetness of life” (Proverbs 12:19). Dig down past the desires of the flesh and discover the dream God planted as a seed in your heart.
