Dream. Dream big. Believe it. Achieve it.

What do you dream?

Jesus said to us in John 10:10 "The thief comes to only steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full"

Jesus came to not only give us life, but life to the FULL. That's what His word says so lets grab hold of that! When we have Jesus in our life we should not settle with the ordinary. We should have the extraordinary! We should dream big for Jesus!
Oscar Wilde (writer and poet) said "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all"
We should not be content with just existing, we should not go through life just surviving. Life was meant to live, so lets live it! Lets have dreams and ambitions! I do not want to go through life just blending in, not making a difference! I want to stand up for what I believe! I want to impact the world for good! I want to leave this life on earth knowing I made a difference and did all I could do for God. I don't care for money or fame, I don't care if I leave this world and no one remembers my name, as long as they know one name that name been Jesus! I don't do things for my own glory but for Gods Glory!

Lets us all have dreams! Let us dream big! Believe it! Achieve it!

Lets take a moment just to stop in the crazy chaos of a world. Stop and listen. Listen to your heart. Listen to what God is saying to you, listen to the dreams He has for you! Lets want what Gods what. When I stop I see the worlds beauty, but I also feel its pain, and I am here to help!

Lets aim to reach our full potential for God. Lets aim to fulfill our dreams for Him. But we don't have to wait around! We can do it now! Even if you are young and feel like you can not make a difference yet, you wrong, you can!

In 1 Timothy 4:12 it says "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young..."
Do not see you age as a handicap! You can still dream. You can still make a difference and achieve no matter what age you are! It say don't let ANYONE look down on you, ANYONE includes you self!

Even if you start off small, and your works seem insignificant remember a small ripple can gain momentum and cause a current that is unconquerable! So lets start with one small step! Walk your own path and don't let anyone get in your way! And don't let anyone tell you, you can't do it! If its from God you can do it! You have permission to do your mission!

Christopher Gardner said "Don't let someone tell you, you can't do something. You got a dream you got to protect it! People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you, you can't do it. If you want something, go get it. Period!"

Even if at times we fail, its part of life. If you haven't failed. you haven't live! Remember if we are living and not just existing we will face failure at times, but that means you are aiming for something that means you are living! But remember if you fail always get back up! Thomas Edison puts it like this, he had 99 attempts of making a light bulb before he actually made it but he said i didn't fail 99 times, i just found 99 ways of how not to do it! Every time we find a way of how not to do something, we are closer to achieving what we set out to do!
Do not let what people say alter your dreams! Even if people say you can't, know that you can! Lets look at what some people said to others who achieved:
Turned down by the decor recording company who said "we don't like there sound, and their guitar music is on the way out" - The Beatles
Cut from the high school basket ball team. He went home, locked himself in his room and cried. -Michael Jordan
A teacher told him he was too stupid to learn anything, that he should go into a field where he might succeed virtue to his pleasant personality - Thomas Edison
Fired from a newspaper because he lacked imagination and had no original ideas -Walt Disney
Did what happened or what people said alter whether or not the could achieve? No! So don't let it change you either! Some may laugh. So what! Many will follow!
As we dream, and chase our dream we will hit failure! If you never failed you have never lived! If you fail at something it means you are aiming at something that's hard to reach which is what we need to do! But don't ever give in! There are many ways to fail, but only one way to succeed; NEVER GIVE UP!
If we take it to the Bible Joseph had a dream, and he never gave in on it. He pursued it the whole way as it was from God! And even when it seemed impossible, and everyone laughed, and he ended up in prison, when everything was against him. He never gave in and his dream came to be. So can yours! Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go!
Do not have fear! Do not let fear stop you from achieving your dreams. Fear keeps people small. If God is for you who can be against you? If God is for you, who shall you fear? Our faith needs to be bigger than our fear! Lets run towards our fear and embrace them. because on the other side of our greatest fear, lives our greatest life!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am i to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so others don't feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. Its not just in some of us; its in everyone! And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. And as we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others - Marianne Williamson

Let us not think Who am I to do this? Who am I to achieve this? Who am I to dream like this? Who are you not too!Let us not have that fear, let us chase our dreams and have confidence in them as we do, we will inspire others to do the same. Lets get down from the stands, and on to the court, lets play the game of life. Lets stop looking at people having their own dreams, lets have our own! Lets life life to the full, the life Jesus came to give us! Lets be able to say at the end of our life "I dreamed! I dreamed big! I Believed it! And I achieved it!"
