Here you are, you are met with the words of someone who decided to begin the framework to your dreams demise. I'm sure that it may look different from person, to person, and our circumstances may vary. Believe me, they don't know it, and some people do it ever so unintentionally. But their preconceived notion of what they believe is for you, is not! "Don't let small minds convince you that your dreams are too big!" Dreams are specific to individuals. The biggest notion that you can ever cling to is "YOUR" dream. God gave it to you. That is why it is imperative that we know the importance to understanding God's vision, and purpose for our lives. Let's take a look in to one of favorite books in the bible, also written by my favorite writer's in the bible Paul. Let's break this scripture all the way down In Romans 8:29-35 it reads,
29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified;those he justified, he also glorified.
God predestined your life. God predestined your dream. That word, "Predestined," means that God new before hand, and before anyone what his intentions were for your life. He called and chose you for such a time as this. Those dreams you have weren't to live on the shelve of your heart. He knew you would have the skills, and the know how to get the job done. Not because of who you are, but because of who he is, your built with the solution. That is why it's YOUR dream. If you were go the store right now and purchase a kit to build something it come with the instructions, and tools needed to get the job done. Let me remind you, you have what you need! There is not a mistake. He also, "Called, and Justified," you. He wanted you for the job.......Let me tell you again...God wanted you for the job! He deemed you good enough!
So with that being said...Paul continue
31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
Tell me who could rise up against you and not fall? No charge! Not even condemned! No separation! No trouble! No hardship! No persecution! No famine! No danger! Nothing! But you can not compromise your dream! For no one! ...until next time! Peace and Love
