I believe it’s important for a person to have a dream (or you can call it a goal). It provides clear vision and directions in life. What I need to do to obtain the goal, what decision I need to make and follow, what sacrifice I’m willing to make, etc…
But for me, I didn’t really had any dreams or goals when I was young that I wanted to pursue. I didn’t really think about what I can do in this world.
Not until I became a Christian I had a dream I wanted to pursue. And I thank God everyday for giving me a dream to pursue and life to live in His grace.
But how about you? Do you have a dream that you want to pursue?
I believe God places 2 dreams for us to pursue. Dreams for each person and Dreams for each community.
Personal dream is to love God with all we are and love others as ourselves. (Matthew 22:37-40). Whatever personal decision we make, should always make our relationship healthier with God and others.
Whether I work as a teacher, an operator, or a construction worker, it’s my personal goal to make healthier relationship with God and others.
If my relationship with God and others are deteriorating, knowing that is my personal dream and goal on everything I do, I must make a change.. Since I’m pursuing God given dream, I know when I need to continue on or make necessary changes in things I do.
God has given us different talents and skills to pursue our own passion but gave us the dream that we all get to share as His children.
Often times, we get lost in life by only pursuing my own passion and neglecting the bigger dream that our God has placed in us.
