Every person looks at life differently. A friend of mine shared with me recently some thoughts about dreams and goals he had had when he was younger. His message was, " If only I had to do it all over again..." Then he stopped and said, "but God was always in control!"
So you are not alone in having dreams/goals that have come and gone. We all have had some dreams/goals that die or have not yet come true. Sometimes you are helping make someone else’s dreams/goals come true. By walking with the Lord and raising a Godly family (biological or spiritual) we can be an answer to our parents’ prayers and dreams.
Many of us are experiencing and living our dreams - dreams of marriage, having children, of walking by faith with our loved ones, introducing others to Christ. We can also help others fulfill their dreams. A couple that I met at church a few weeks ago had a dream of living in a free country. They are living their dream and the dream of many who thought it worthwhile to fight for this goal called freedom.
We can help others realize their dreams by giving them food and clean water, by giving them an education, freedom and justice, and by helping others find peace through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus said that "if we do it unto the least of them, we have done it unto Him."
We can’t realize our dreams/goals if we try to relive the past. We must go forward. Don’t go back to where you were and what you knew. God’s miracles happen when things look impossible. The Red Sea parted after Moses stepped into it. God’s grace is always there. It’s like He says, “Just keep pushing and don’t worry about falling. I will pick you up and I will pour my grace on you. I will dump it on you! Just ask me.”
