Aren’t you glad God doesn’t give up on his dreams for us?

Father, may all your dreams come true. I don’t want to get in the way or hinder You from fulfilling any of the plans You had for me when You dreamed me into being.

~~Robin Jones Gunn

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

Everyone who dreams big knows the disappointment of a life that falls short of those dreams. The higher we pin our hopes, the more devastating when they come crashing down. Sadly, to safeguard ourselves, we tend to keep our hopes low, or we may stop dreaming altogether.

Aren’t you glad God doesn’t give up on his dreams for us? The Bible says God’s ultimate dream, his predetermined plan, is for us to be made like Christ—that we take on the image of our older brother.

That was God’s plan when he dreamed of you. When He called your name, he said, “I want her to be just like Jesus. I have some great things for her to do.”

Let’s not get in our own way by hindering God’s plans for us. He dreamed big. So should we. Working together with God, all of those dreams can come true.
