Were you brought up to receive love through accomplishments or were you loved even when you failed? Are you afraid to live out your dreams because you might fail and receive criticism or do you move forward with courage doing the things you feel led to do without thought of criticism or failure?
Let’s look at Jesus. He knew His Father in heaven loved Him and He knew the dream He was living out was to die for our mess, our guilt so we could be energized and alive to live out our dreams for Him. Even His best friends thought He was a failure and deserted Him after He died. But they didn’t realize the end of the story until later. His mighty, loving Father brought Him back alive and the dream became reality.
Our suffering and obedience are to be expected as we pursue our dreams. So get up from your tired, worn out place and look to the Father who loves you unconditionaly. Thank Him for the struggles, for Jesus faithfulness of pursuing His dreams and walking in victory for you and me. Thank Him for His energy, His life and His endurance placed in you. Thank Him for the realization of your dream that is coming through Him!
