Let God Bless Your Dreams
We only plant the seeds, but it is God who makes them grow and bear fruit
“Ask the LORD to bless your plans, and you will be successful in carrying them out.” — Proverbs 16:3, GNT
We can only do so much to make our dreams come true. We can make good plans. We can work hard, really hard. But there comes a time when we have to step aside a little and wait for everything we did to bear its own fruits.
We can’t keep on digging the seeds we planted and expect them to soon blossom into plants. We can’t keep on watering them to force them to grow before their time.
When you have done your very best, it is time to trust and allow God to bless your efforts with success.
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
and whose confidence is in the LORD.
For he will be as a tree planted by the waters,
who spreads out its roots by the river,
and will not fear when heat comes,
but its leaf will be green;
and will not be concerned in the year of drought.
It won’t cease from yielding fruit.”
-Jeremiah 17:7–8, WEBBE

“The deepest wounds of the soul are healed only by compassion… People do not merely need to be clothed, they need to be embraced with love. A love that enters into their own fears and frailty, a love that suffers with them and stays with them through their darkest hour.”
