Day 12 - When Dreams Fade

366 Days of Compassion and God's Promises in the Bible

Apr 15, 2021

Don't give up now. For all you know, your dreams are just about to come true!

“Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.” - Galatians 6, WEBBE

Try

When dreams die,
as they sometimes do,
when the plans you've made
and when the things you've built
just seem to fade,
do not leave,
it is not the end.

When hopes disappear,
as they sometimes do,
when everything you've prayed for
and every seed you've sown,
just seem to wither away,
do not quit,
you can try again.

For those dreams that died,
they'd give way to bigger dreams,
as the things that have fallen,
will make greater things arise.

You may cry for a while,
but you will mend.
When the night is over,
a bright new morn will shine!

God’s Promise for Today

“Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand on the path of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the LORD’s law.
On his law he meditates day and night.
He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
that produces its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also does not wither.
Whatever he does shall prosper.”
-Psalm 1:1-3, WEBBE

Saint Quote

“God has preserved you so far;
only keep yourself faithful to the
law of his providence and He will
assist you at all times, and where
you cannot walk He will carry you.”
-St. Francis de Sales

Mother Mary

“So your strength is failing you? Why don't you tell your mother about it? . . . Mother! Call her with a loud voice. She is listening to you; she sees you in danger, perhaps, and she—your holy mother Mary—offers you, along with the grace of her son, the refuge of her arms, the tenderness of her embrace . . . and you will find yourself with added strength for the new battle.” -St. Josemaria Escriva
