After all, one of my new friend shared to me on how he started to read the bible and write some "love letters" to God in his bible. I'm impressed and reflect back whats pastor preached before that we should make a note each time we read and devotion. Some pastor do encourage us to start writing a blog or journal along the way we read.
Well, I'm back in blogging again because of that. God, I'm back... I wish to talk and write to you more and more. Since when I have stopped to write the love letter? That's not the matter, the most important thing is I'm back!!! ;)
Today devotion plan will be the second day of Joyce Meyer - promises for your everyday life.
Jump-Start Your Dreams
What is the dream that God's placed in your heart?I'm not asking if you have one, I already know it's there because God gives all of us dreams.
I've seen people do all kinds of things to their dreams. Some people bury them so deep in their hearts in order to protect them from the criticism of others. Some people set them out of sight so they don't have to think about them anymore. And some people finally just give up on their dreams because it hurts too much to hold on.
If your dream needs a jump-start, there are two things I want you to remember. First, you need to get a vision that's clear. And second, you must keep your vision in front of you at all times.
But having a vision doesn't mean that it will instantly appear. God's as interested in the process of vision as He is in the end result.
The apostle Paul said in Philippians 4:11-13 that he had learned how to be content and satisfied to the point where he was not disturbed by whatever state he was in. In other words, he never allowed himself to get upset with where he was at the moment, he was always looking forward to where he could be.
That means you, like Paul, need to find a balance between contentment and ambition. Here's the key: Learn to enjoy where you are on the way to where you're going.
When you have a dream or a vision, you have to keep it in front of you. If it helps, write it down. And remember, God will help you live the dream He's given you, step-by-step, one day at a time.
Prayer Starter: Jesus, even though I don't always feel like it and life tries to get me to quit, I believe You have a great plan for my life. I choose to trust You to help me live the dream You've given me more than I trust my circumstances.
My Responses
God, I know you have talk to me when I'm reading this. I know I got a dream that you have place in my inner of my heart. Just like what's shared by Joyce Meyer, my dream could be criticise by the others or become a joke. Since that's the dream I dream it for God, why I couldn't keep it Infront of me? God, please help me to do so and tries not to quit it simply. Lord, I choose to trust You to help me live the dream You've given me more than I trust my circumstances. Amen!
