What do you really want?

We all have dreams when we are children, whether it be to become a great sporting hero or to be a daring Police man or even an adventurous space explorer. Whatever it was that you dreamt of in days gone by, a lot of us find that as time goes by, those dreams get left behind. We take the easy path, we take the path that the world expects us to walk. We stop focusing on what we really want and we start focusing on what the world wants.

When you think about it, this is really sad because there are many times that God will place a dream in our hearts, he will put a desire inside of us to pursue a course that we may think by our own understanding is impossible. But this is the exciting part...God has given us a dream...He hasnt given us the map to our destination, He hasnt told us each obstacle that will come before us...He has given us a dream and its our adventure to reach the destination.

But this is where some people will drift away from their dreams...because they think its too hard and they dont see the path to reach the destination.

I guess you could say that God is asking us "what do you want?" and "what is your desire?". We must not allow ourselves to get caught up in the question of "how"...because this is something we are to leave up to God. By asking "how", we are basically saying we have little to no faith in our Heavenly Father. For we all know that nothing is impossible for Him, so why do we question how we are going to reach our dreams, when in the scheme of things, they are tiny!

So today I pray that you look deep into your heart, ask yourself what is it that you desire? What is your passion? What is the dream that God has placed inside of you? Once you have remembered what the dream is...go out there and fight for it! Dont ask the world what it wants...but rather show the world the person you are!

I do have a dream while I was a little kid, becoming a designer. But I will never be I guess. Because I know I do not have a sense of art and fashion feeling?!

Anyway, each of us should know our talents, gifts first, and then we can find the way we want to be.

That is what God wants us to be. Do something we good at and serve God for his purpose....
