Does God Want Me to Believe in My Dreams Again?

“If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.” (John 15:7, WEB)

Deep within our hearts, we have desires that may have remained hidden through the years

We have almost forgotten them. We rarely allow them to speak to us because somehow, we are afraid. We’re afraid they might be wrong. We’re afraid they might be selfish. We’re afraid that though they may turn out to be good and noble, we’d be powerless to reach them.

Not once have we been disappointed while dreaming our dreams. Not once have our desires been put down by others who didn’t believe in them.

So we buried those desires deeply, into that place where none can see them anymore, where none can judge us or mock us, telling us we’re not even worthy to imagine such things.

But what if someone comes along who believes in them? Someone who can see past your masks, uncovering the true cries of your soul?

Will you allow yourself to believe once again? Will you honor the dignity God has placed within you?

Jesus comes knocking. He knows you through and through. Finally, here is someone who will treasure your deepest yearnings, who cares so much about you He wants to fulfill your heart’s desires.

And though you may think you’re powerless, in Him is all the power you will ever need. Though you may think it’s impossible, all that you really need is faith the size of a mustard seed. Shouldn’t it be able to move even the mountains that would stand in your way? If God is with you, who can be against you?

Will you let Him? Will you trust again knowing that there is someone who trusts in you?

“Trust in the LORD, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture. Also delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:3–4, WEB-BE)
