My Dreams, God’s Plan

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster to give you a future and hope. -Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)

Growing up, you come up with all of these dreams about what you want to do, what you want to become, where you want to live, and so on. Childhood was the period where most of us got our start as dreamers.  We hold on to those dreams and even imagine ourselves living them at some point in our life. And that's okay, but somewhere down the line, as we mature, our character forms, and our thoughts and plans start to change.

Time has an exciting way of making some dreams become a thing of the past. Time has a way of changing things and the people around us. Everything becomes strikingly different. Why is that? More often than not, the reason is that God is trying to introduce us to something far greater---His marvelous plans for us and our future. 

As soon as you realize God's plans for you, your desires are altered to match what God wants for you. When your desires change, your connections will also. You'll find yourself pulling away from people who aren't dreamers and connecting to those who are. Once we surround ourselves with believers who are dream carriers and dream pushers, we will begin to see our dreams lining up with God's plan. When you make room for God's plan, you'll walk away with the best Heaven has to offer.
