"if you cling to your life you will lose it;
but if you GIVE UP your life for Me, you will find it."
but if you GIVE UP your life for Me, you will find it."
Matthew 10:39
I have been thinking about the small things in my life,
which when added together make up the big picture...
which when added together make up the big picture...
the dream
that dream that you have, when you reach the end of your days you can look back and say; "I'm so glad I was able to do it like this or like that. That's what I was going for! Now I have no regrets..."
When the Big Picture doesn't quite play out, in frustration I start fighting the 'smalls of life' (situations, circumstances, relationships and the people) hoping it will build the dream...
Sometimes our Dreams are really big. Reality compared to the situation we are in can seem unattainable. But our Father, who loves us, says: "Don't be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude (this big unattainable dream that you are fighting for), FOR THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS, but God's. You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you. Don't fear or be dismayed. Tomorrow, go out against them, for the Lord is with you."
2 Chronicles. 20:14-17
If we keep fighting 'the smalls', not resting in God and His promises,
we gain nothing, we lose everything.
But if we lose our right of fighting in our own power, to have that dream and only position ourselves for the fight...the great outdoors of Life, we gain Victory.
If Father God has gifted you with a dream,
won't He be faithful to bring it about if you show up in faith?
Loving Him is more important than Hopes and Dreams of your Life.
Lay it down at His feet in Surrender...
Abba Father, I thank you for the Dreams
you have placed inside of us. Your Dreams.
It is for Your Glory
It is for you to bring about.
I will show up in faith
and 'go out against them'
because I know you are with me.
We will have trouble in this life, but
You have overcome.
You have already won.
Loving you Abba Father xxx
much love
