Do you have a dream?
When I ask this question of people, I am often surprised to receive half-hearted replies:
"Nah! not really."
"I'm too busy just coping with today's problems."
"What's the point when they never come true?"
Where does the tendency of dreaming come from, nature or nurture?
Children are the greatest dreamers, that's why they jump of high platforms with teatowel capes, or sing in front of mirrors with hairbrush microphones....dreaming of what they might one day become. Giving children the freedom to dream is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give a child. Unfortunately, a few ill-chosen words can also quench the dreamer forever:
Are you a dreamer?
Are you the Joseph-type dreamer that was told by his family to 'get over it' and 'get real', or are you the Samuel-type dreamer that was told it just might be God at work.
Check out Psalm 37:5, and dream on.
