Jesus looked at them and said, “With man, this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” Mark 10:27
We loved to dream when we were children. Whether it was hitting a homerun in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the championship game, becoming the first female president, or being the first to travel to the farthest point of outer space, we had no limits to our dreams. Sadly, though, somewhere along the road of life, many of us stop dreaming. We trade the imaginations of our childhood for the fears of adulthood. We’re afraid that if our dreams are too big or too grand, then they won’t come true. The reason we have those fears is because we rely on ourselves to accomplish those dreams. Jesus, however, encourages us to leave the shallow waters of fear and enter into the deep waters of faith—the deep waters of big dreams. We cannot rely on any human, including ourselves, to accomplish our dreams. While other people may be vehicles to help our dreams become reality, it is ultimately up to God. God is bigger than anything you can ever dream. It’s time to step out on faith and allow God to show you what he can accomplish in your life!
Lord, Thank you for making the impossible possible in my life. Help me to step out on faith and trust that you are bigger than my dreams. I don’t want to settle for the repetition of daily living; I want to live in the deep end and in the adventure that you have planned for my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
